In one of my posts a couple of months ago, I talked about the need to have any repair warranty that is discussed between you and the shop owner put in writing. This time, we’ll talk about the nitty gritty of a written car repair warranty, about how you must check and examine it to ensure that your car is fully covered and to ensure that what you’ve talked about is included in the written and official document.
Remember that there is no such thing as standard warranty on car repairs. Whatever warranty your car may get from a repair, you have to discuss that with the shop owner or mechanic. Once you have the hard copy on hand, pay attention to all the small details included as these may sometimes be the most important parts of the warranty.
Of course, check the part or repair covered by the warranty, as well as the timeframe or mileage frame that it covers. You’d want to be sure that the time or mileage is reasonable and that the warranty is not simply a rip-off. In some instances, there are certain processes that you have to go through when making a warranty claim, and you have to pay attention to these. Failure to follow a single and negligible detail in the process could be all it takes for your claim to be rejected. Similarly, you have to check the warranty and clarify with the shop owner as to which institutions are allowed to perform warranty work on your vehicle if you plan to file a warranty claim later on. This is another tricky part that you have to familiarize yourself with if you want to avoid any possible problem later on.
A car repair warranty is a beneficial perk to car owners, but you just have to be careful in examining the warranty to ensure that you’ll get the benefits.
