Who is Empire State Warranty?
Dealer Testimonials
Empire State Warranty strives to provide the best products and services to our customers. Here's what they have to say.
Empire State Warranty has been a pleasure to work with over the last 3 years. Our journey with Steve did not just begin with Empire 3 years ago- We developed a long standing relationship with him as a representative for another warranty company and we were impressed with the knowledge and service that Steve provided. We were not surprised to learn that Steve would be starting his own warranty company and we were excited to see what he would have to offer.
Steve came to us prepared with competitive pricing, excellent coverage bundles, training sessions and the ability to mold his programs to what we needed for our evolving customer base. After selling Empire protection packages to our customers we realized we were not receive many phone calls or complaints in our service department-that is because Empire goes above and beyond to handle claims internally and efficiently. They pay the claims quickly and quietly leaving no room for customers to be frustrated, we hardly even knew the claims existed!
Here at Tower Auto Sales we strive to deliver the best possible vehicle purchase process to our customers and although we do not have a service center on site, partnering with Steve at EmpireState Warranty allows us to provide our customers with the best possible after care protection for their vehicles as well. Empire State Warranty has given our dealership something that is priceless – PEACE OF MIND. Thank you Steve and EmpireState Warranty, we are looking forward doing future business with your company.
Melanie McAloney, F & I Manager at Tower Auto Sales
Very professional staff and communicated with me through the whole process. Alaina is always great to deal with and makes it as painless as it can be. I would highly recommend working with this company. I am sure you will not be disappointed!
Korey T., Service Manager at Exit5 Auto Group
I just want to express my experience with Steve at Empire State Warranty, he is an absolute pleasure to do business with he's extremely professional and very knowledgeable. I'm glad I signed up with his company for the Extended Warranties. I've dealt with Penn Warranty, Cars Protection Plus, and Guardian Warranty Corp in the past and had issues with them on claims and payouts, and had some concerns but none with Empire State Warranty. From here on out they will get all of my contracts. I've had 2 issues in the past couple of months and they were resolved quickly with no hassles and paid for right away which is hard to find nowadays with these Warranty Companies. I'd recommend any retail dealership in the Capital District that deals with Extended Warranty Companies to give him a shot, you guys won't regret it. I'll only deal with Empire State Warranty from here on out with all of my retail sales. Thanks again, Steve and Alaina for making it a pleasure to work with.
George, owner of George's Auto Sales
The ease of operation, the quick response time, and approval times. They are very easy to work with emailing all questions and responding with quick answers. Payment times are within hours of submission and credit card payment works simply with our system. Overall a great company to work with.
Steve O., Service Advisor at Exit5 Auto Group
Empire State Warranty company and their President/CEO - Steven Blanchard have been more of a partner to Exit5 Auto Group than a vendor. Steve’s experience in the financial product space is felt immediately. He takes a very hands-on approach to building relationships and offers way more than simply providing vehicle service contracts and ancillary products. For the last several years he has committed himself to being a part of our development and growth in our F&I productivity and profitability - which continues to set new all-time highs! Steven and his team are committed to making sure that the claims process is handled efficiently and effectively.
Furthermore, he monitors all relevant statistics to provide detailed reporting to continue making incremental gains and improvements. I could not be more satisfied with Exit5 Auto Group’s relationship with Empire State Warranty. If you’re thinking of making the switch, just do it, and you can thank me later!
Patrick Lyga, GM/Co-Owner of Exit5 Auto Group
Where do I begin? A review should be there for the end user, and prospective client, to read. However, Empire State Warranty has two tiers of clients. That is the dealership that sells and services/repairs customers' vehicles after the sale utilizing the plans sold and then, there is the end user, aka the person that purchased the car with the warranty. I can tell you, they both are as equally important. I am a dealer and to me is important that my clients have an effortless and hassle-free experience. As a dealer, it's also important that my service department doesn't waste time, therefore costing the dealership, and the claims and approval processes are quick and fair. With a clear conscience, I can say the Empire State Warranty is superb in client service for both tiers of clients. By far top 2 companies we have ever dealt with. We have been in business since 2001. Hope this helps clients make an educated decision.
Vladimir Ranguelov, Owner of Alfa Romeo of Albany
ESW has been there with me from the start of my new car journey. After purchasing my 2014 BMW, I purchased the Car Care Advantage + plan to quell any concerns that an older German car may provide. A month into ownership I needed a steering rack, battery, and a module. This would have cost me almost $4000 had I not been an ESW customer. Thanks to my Car Care Advantage + plan I paid only $100 out of pocket, and my car is running like new. From the personability of claims agents to the speed with which approval for repairs was given, ESW makes it clear they care about their customers. I would highly recommend an ESW warranty for anyone with a car. The peace of mind of entering a service center knowing I’m covered for a wide range of repairs is sublime.
Kristina Fisk, Service Advisor at Alfa Romeo of Albany
Steve and Alaina with ESW have the integrity all companies selling VSC should have. Are you looking to partner with a company that has your best interest but also stands by their agreements? Do not hesitate to have a quick meeting with Steve. I just wanted to let you know that you will be satisfied.
