2. The Freedom to Choose
One of the perks of American Dream Auto Protect is that you’re not tied down to a specific repair shop. We believe in freedom of choice, so you can take your vehicle to any ASE Certified repair facility you fancy. Just ensure it’s a legitimate, state-recognized shop in the business of fixing motor vehicles. Hand over a copy of your American Dream Auto Protect contract or contract number to the chosen repair facility before they start tinkering with your ride. It’s like giving them the golden ticket, minus the chocolate.
3. The Service Manager’s Call to Action
Before the wrenches start turning and the gears start grinding, your chosen service manager should give us a buzz at (insert American Dream Auto Protect contact number). It’s the secret handshake to make sure your claim gets the green light. Remember, any unauthorized repairs won’t be covered unless it’s a true emergency. In that case, follow the claim procedures without authorization and call us within five (5) business days to see if your repair qualifies. Emergency repairs are like Batman swooping in when Gotham is in peril – rare but crucial.
4. Tear-Down and Inspection Authorization
Sometimes, it’s like going to the doctor. Your car needs a check-up, and that means authorizing the repair facility to inspect and tear down your vehicle to pinpoint the issue and estimate the cost. It’s like getting an X-ray for your car. You wouldn’t want the doctor to operate without knowing what’s wrong, right?
5. Know Your Warranty Coverage
American Dream Auto Protect offers a variety of coverage plans, each with its own level of protection. Just like you’d pick the right tool for the job, choose the coverage that suits your needs. Your friendly American Dream Auto Protect Sales Representative should have already explained the options, but you can always refer to your contract for a detailed list. Think of it as choosing toppings for your pizza – the more, the merrier.
6. The Deductible Dilemma
Ah, the dreaded deductible. It’s the money you have to fork over before we start covering the costs. It’s like a ticket to the amusement park; you’ve got to pay to play. Make sure you pay the deductible to the repair facility, and on our end, we’ll handle the rest. We’ll reimburse the facility or you, depending on your contract.
7. Paperwork, Please!
Once the repair is complete and authorization is granted, gather all the repair orders and documentation. You’ve got thirty (30) days (or 365 days in Wisconsin) to submit everything to us to be eligible for payment. Think of it as sending us a postcard from your car’s vacation.
