"We've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty..."
If you've heard that phrase even ONCE, you're not alone. It's the #1 most-reported robocall scam in America.
But here's what most people don't know: Each of those calls may be a TCPA violation with potential legal remedies.
Car warranty spam calls are the EASIEST robocalls to sue for. Why? Because they're so obviously illegal. No gray areas. No excuses. Just pure, profitable TCPA violations.
Let me show you how to turn those annoying warranty calls into legal action...
Why Auto Warranty Robocalls Are TCPA Goldmines
Reason #1: They're Always Illegal
Car warranty robocallers:
- • Use automated dialers (illegal without consent)
- • Call cell phones (illegal for marketing)
- • Ignore the Do Not Call Registry (illegal)
- • Keep calling after you say stop (double illegal)
- • Spoof their caller ID (triple illegal)
It's like a TCPA violation buffet.
Reason #2: They Call REPEATEDLY
Average car warranty victim gets called 20-30 times. That's multiple potential TCPA violations from ONE campaign.
Reason #3: They're Easy to Document
The script is always the same. The pitch is obvious. There's no confusion about what they're selling. Makes your case bulletproof.
Reason #4: Companies Know They're Guilty
Car warranty robocallers often settle quickly when faced with solid evidence. They know they have no defense. Average resolution time: 8-12 weeks.
The Anatomy of a Car Warranty Robocall
The Opening Line:
"We've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty..." or variations like:
- • "This is your final courtesy call..."
- • "Your vehicle warranty is about to expire..."
- • "Important information about your [Car Make/Model]..."
The Urgency Tactic:
"You must act now!" / "Final notice!" / "Last chance!"
Creating false urgency is a classic scam tactic. Also makes it clear they're not a legitimate business.
The Hook:
They want you to "press 1 to speak with a specialist" or give them your VIN number.
The Reality:
They're NOT your car's manufacturer. They're NOT your dealer. They're selling overpriced, junk warranties from third-party companies.
How Auto Warranty Lawsuits Work
Auto warranty robocalls are among the most common TCPA violations. These cases typically involve:
- • Multiple documented calls over several months
- • Clear violations of Do Not Call Registry rules
- • Continued calling after opt-out requests
- • Use of automated dialing systems
Legal Process: Cases typically involve documenting violations, identifying the responsible companies, and pursuing legal remedies through our network of attorneys.
Common Outcomes: Many cases result in settlements when companies are faced with clear evidence of TCPA violations.
How to Build Your Car Warranty Lawsuit
Step 1: Start Documenting IMMEDIATELY
Don't block the calls yet. Let them keep coming for 60-90 days. Each call = more money.
What to capture:
- • Date and time of each call
- • Caller ID (even if spoofed)
- • Recording if possible (legal in one-party states)
- • What they said
- • Any company name they give (usually fake)
Step 2: Verify Your DNC Status
Go to donotcall.gov/verify and confirm you're registered. This makes your case even stronger.
Not registered yet? Do it NOW. Future calls become violations.
Step 3: Tell Them to Stop (At Least Once)
Partway through your documentation period, clearly tell them: "Remove me from your call list. Do not call this number again."
When they call AFTER that? Those violations may be considered willful under the TCPA.
Step 4: Identify the Real Company
This is the hardest part. Those numbers are spoofed. The company name they give is fake.
DNCme's technology traces calls back through:
- • VoIP provider records
- • Digital fingerprinting
- • Pattern matching across thousands of reports
- • Audio analysis to identify call center operations
We find the REAL company. That's who you sue.
Step 5: File Your Claim
After 60-90 days of solid documentation, you're ready. Options:
- • Demand Letter: Fastest, often settles in weeks
- • Small Claims: For smaller amounts, DIY-able
- • Federal Lawsuit: For big cases, lawyer-driven, higher payouts
DNCme members get connected with TCPA specialists who know exactly how to handle car warranty cases.
What Makes Car Warranty Cases So Winnable?
Evidence Factor #1: The Script
They use the same script on EVERYONE. This makes it easy to prove it's an automated campaign.
Evidence Factor #2: No Prior Relationship
Unless you ACTUALLY requested info about warranties (you didn't), they have zero right to call you.
Evidence Factor #3: The Spoofing
Caller ID spoofing is itself a violation. They're hiding their identity because they KNOW they're breaking the law.
Evidence Factor #4: Pattern of Abuse
These aren't one-off mistakes. It's systematic, intentional harassment. Courts don't like that.
Evidence Factor #5: FCC Enforcement History
The FCC has repeatedly fined car warranty robocallers. This establishes that the practice is known to be illegal.

Defense: "We had consent"

Reality: Ignorance isn't a defense. You're required to check. FAIL.
Defense: "That wasn't us, we hired a third party"
Reality: You're liable for your contractors' actions. FAIL.
Defense: "The calls were informational, not sales"
Reality: "Would you like to buy a warranty?" is clearly sales. FAIL.
