In computing, the maximum $180 reimbursement per repair visit, up to three (3) days of downtime, required for parts procurement only, is reimbursable (Administrator must be advised in advance of all such delays). Delays caused by repair facility scheduling do not qualify for rental benefits. Valid receipts for substitute vehicles will be required.

D. YOUR VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS

It is your responsibility to ensure the oil warning light and gauge, as well as the temperature warning light and gauge, are in proper working condition and not displaying signs of warning.

In order to maintain valid limited warranty coverage, you must have your vehicle checked and serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations, as outlined in your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual. Failure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations may result in the denial of coverage.
It is required that verifiable receipts be retained for the services. You must retain all copies of all maintenance and repair orders. These copies must indicate: the customer name, repair order number and date, vehicle identification number, description of your vehicle including make, model, and odometer reading at the time of servicing, and a complete description of services performed.
You may be required to provide proof of all maintenance services completed, in compliance with the manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual. Failure to provide proof of services performed will void this Limited Warranty. Maintenance expenses are your responsibility.

E. YOUR DUTIES IN THE EVENT OF A MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN

Use reasonable means to protect your vehicle from further damage in order to prevent additional expenses, repairs, or complete denial of the claim. You will be responsible to pay any such additional expenses;
Return your vehicle to us. If this is not possible, call the administrator toll-free (800) 643-9059, for assistance;
Authorize any charges necessary to determine the cause of failure. This includes disassembly and diagnostic charges. You will be required to pay the expense of the disassembly and diagnosis if the mechanical breakdown is not covered by your limited warranty;
Permit an independent inspection before repairs are completed if the administrator requests an inspection;
Obtain a repair authorization number from an administrator before any repair is made. A repair authorization can be obtained from the administrator by calling toll-free (800) 643-9059. Should an emergency occur which requires a mechanical breakdown repair to be made at a time when the administrator’s office is closed, you must call the administrator no later than the next business day to determine if such repair will be covered by the limited warranty. If covered, you will be eligible for reimbursement on covered repairs provided you follow all other procedures outlined in this section;
Submit invoice/repair order exhibiting that the authorized repair has been completed to the administrator;
Pay deductible and any non-covered expenses.

Commercial vehicles or other vehicles used for business are excluded (for example: Uber, Lyft, etc.) and not eligible.
