How does the extended warranty provider pay for my claim?
Most extended warranty providers require the vehicle’s owner pay for a repair upfront. The consumer is then expected to send the repair order to the extended warranty provider to be reimbursed for the repair. It could take up to three weeks to be reimbursed for these repairs. Occasionally the extended warranty provider will make the repair facility send them a bill. Most service facilities do not do business with extended warranty providers who require them to bill the extended warranty provider for the repair. The reason for this is that it could take three to four weeks for the repair facility to receive payment for a given repair. Make sure that you select an extended warranty that will pay the repair facility over the phone with a corporate credit card as soon as the repair is completed. This method is the preferred method of repair facilities nationwide and the only way to insure your protection.
