Claims: Extended Auto Warranties vs. Extended Service Contracts
What to do When Your Manufacturer’s Warranty Expires
Your manufacturer’s warranty just expired. You’ve either exceeded the time length of the warranty or racked up more miles than the warranty covers.So what now? Are you supposed to just pay for every repair out of pocket from now on? Do you want to risk being stuck with a massive repair bill when you least expect it?
If your manufacturer’s warranty is about to expire or has already done so, you have likely had these questions buzzing around in your head.You know that manufacturers also offer extended auto warranties, but they put so many restrictions and stipulations on you that you would almost rather avoid the hassle and just pay for the repairs yourself.
You might be interested to find out that there are other options available to you. Extended service contracts are a viable option when it comes to protecting your vehicle after the manufacturer’s warranty has expired. Premier Service Contracts is a leading provider of vehicle service contracts and can save you a considerable amount on your service plan.Not only can our extended service contract save you money on car repairs, but it also typically costs much less than extended auto warranties from the manufacturer.
What to Expect When You File a Claim
When you choose an extended service contract over an extended auto warranty from the manufacturer, the claims process is simple. Instead of requiring you to visit a dealer or specific repair shop, we encourage you to visit whichever repair facility you are most comfortable with.As long as the mechanics are ASE certified, we can handle a claim with them.We are focused less on where you take your car and more on getting you back on the road in as little time as possible.
When your car is being serviced, either call us or have the mechanic call us so we are aware of the situation.From that point on, we will handle everything to do with billing directly with the shop. Some providers will make you pay up front, then lobby for reimbursement.At Premier Service Contracts, we have more respect for your time than that.We know that you have better things to do than to send in receipts, fill out forms, and argue with customer service representatives.
We have many coverage options, and not every plan includes a deductible. If your plan does, you will need to pay your deductible—only once per repair.Unlike most manufacturer extended auto warranties, we do not require you to pay your deductible each time you visit the repair shop.If your car needs a major repair and you end up taking it into the shop multiple times to completely resolve the problem, you still only pay your deductible once.Why should you have to pay for your deductible multiple times if the repair wasn’t completed with the first visit?
At Premier Service Contracts, we are committed to providing you with a painless claims process that you never have to worry about.We value your time and know you want to get back on the road as promptly and as cheaply as possible, and we do everything in our power to make that happen.If you are interested in ensuring a hassle-free repair process for you and your car, request a quote online today.
