Car was in the shop a week and the work still not approved, so parts not ordered.

8 months ago

Richard, we apologize for any delays you’ve experienced regarding your claim. After further review, it appears there were inconsistencies in the diagnostics provided by the repair facility, which led to an inspection being ordered for additional clarification. Unfortunately, some of the findings from the inspection did not align with the original diagnostics. At this time, the claim is still under review.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact our customer service team at 1-800-587-4162. We’re here to help in any way we can.
