Filing Claims for Your Repair and Maintenance with a Liberty Extended Auto Warranty Protection Plan
If you experience having a car breakdown in the middle of your trip, it can be expensive getting it to a mechanic. But if you have purchased an extended auto warranty, the policy can protect you from incurring such additional burdens or you can have the cost reimbursed by the warranty provider.
While companies like Liberty Automotive Protection require a policyholder just a simple call, others have to undergo a tedious processing. And in such instances when you have to shoulder the amount of the repair up front, filing for claims from the warranty company can help get your money back.
For a smooth claim processing, getting the approval of the warranty provider is the initial step. Making a phone call and informing the policy provider about the car’s condition and where you are taking it is usually where everyone fails. A simple call to the service provider helps them become aware of the services you opt to receive and whether the service technician is a qualifying partner.
Additionally, the warranty provider may have had inspected your vehicle before they sold you the coverage. A pre-existing condition nullifies the services you got if it happens to be from a condition that has already existed before the car broke down. It is also important for a car owner to remember that a warranty provider cannot reject your claims if they happened to have approved your contract because they have inspected and approved your vehicle for the extended warranty coverage prior to the problem happening.
Documentation is also an important part of filing claims. This means you have to gather paper works including the policy documentation, repair bill estimates and quotes, and some other pertinent information needed to process your claims. If you happen to get approved for the repair on the spot, the mechanic or service technician will be paid directly by the warranty provider using a corporate credit card and you do not have to wait for a reimbursement when filing for claims.
But if it goes the other way around, you need to directly provide the company with the needed documentation in order for you to receive your money back. Most repair facilities accept an extended auto warranty protection and you won’t run into a problem taking your vehicle to them. But just in case the technicians won’t accept your coverage, a simple phone call to the warranty provider can help you get the services you need.
As a car owner, it is also important to remember that while you are covered from breakdowns, negligence is also a reason for being disqualified for a claim. Damages due to neglect will not qualify you for a claim in case something bad happens. You need to follow the manufacturer’s maintenance guide to avert untoward incidents from happening. Maintenance is also sometimes covered by your policy and you do not have to pay for any additional services when going to a partnering facility.
Filing for claims may be a little hard, but if you do your part and your vehicle qualifies for reimbursement, warranty providers will honor your claims. Liberty Automotive Protection has simplified this with just a phone call prior to your trip to the mechanic so you do not have to wait for reimbursements.
