If we determine that different or additional repairs are indicated, you will be contacted for your advance approval of a revised estimate.

2.3. STATE OF CALIFORNIA ONLY:

A buyer of covered products or services has the right to have warranty service performed during the warranty period. The warranty period will be extended for the number of whole days that the vehicle has been out of the buyer’s hands for warranty repairs. If a defect exists within the warranty period, the warranty will not expire until the defect has been fixed. The warranty period will also be extended if the warranty repairs have not been performed due to delays caused by circumstances beyond the control of the buyer, or if the warranty repairs did not remedy the defect, and the buyer notifies the warranty administrator of the failure of the repairs within 60 days after they were completed. If, after a reasonable number of attempts, the defect has not been fixed, the buyer may return his vehicle for a replacement of parts, if applicable, or a refund, in either case, subject to deduction of a reasonable charge for usage. This time extension does not affect the protections or remedies the buyer has under any law.

2.4. WHAT YOU MUST DO TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE:

You must keep a copy of the original repair invoice and present it when seeking service under this Warranty. If Warranty work is performed, you must temporarily surrender possession of the original repair invoice, or a legible copy of the same. If you can reasonably return to the original service Facility, you must return your vehicle to Facility and present your copy of the original repair invoice to the Facility.

If you are unable to reasonably return your vehicle to the original repair Facility, then prior to any Warranty repair work being performed, you must call the Warranty Administrator, at 1-866-588-0728, from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Friday (EST), Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., excluding U.S. holidays.
