Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Certified Used Cars

[Dan Warlick (edwf430]

........And then there are the aftermarket warranty companies for those of 
us who wish to wear shorts to the dealership.
It would seem that 50% of the time when attempting a claim with the majority 
of these companies (the ones backed by national insurance groups are better) 
that it boils down to the wisdom of the service writer/mechanic making the 
phone call. If he is not familiar with the wording of the warranty contract 
you are potentially up for denial. I give the example of a wheel 
bearing..... When the claim is called in, if the tech should say the bearing 
is loose, has play and is worn, forget it! It's over! That would fall under 
"wear and tear" and they use that clause to the fullest. When calling in the 
claim, the bearing must be replaced! The outer race is broken. Cracked right 
through!  This falls under "broken hard part". The CC number for payment 
minus deductible is issued right there. I realize that this sounds somewhat 
shady but let's face it, they are doing everything they can, shady or not, 
not to pay a claim. It's a business.....cash flow.....just my 2 cents. It 
helps to know your mechanic on a friendly basis too.
