Q: How do
I know what maintenance is required to keep my Warranty Forever contract in
force?
A: It is required that you maintain
the vehicle with the selling dealer or a pre-authorized facility in accordance
to the Manufacturer's Recommended Maintenance Schedule. To check to see the
maintenance required for each particular make and model, please click here: Edmunds

Claims Specialist at 1-800-810-8458.
Q: How do I locate a dealer that offers a
Warranty Forever Contract on a car I would like to
purchase?
A:
You can locate a dealer by emailing us at support@nwan.com or by calling 1-800-810-8458.
Q: What if I am
traveling out of town and need to have a maintenance service performed while I
am traveling?
A: Although you are required to
perform every Manufacturer’s Recommended Maintenance with your selling dealer or
a facility which has been preauthorized, you may call us at 1-800-810-8458 and
PRE-AUTHORIZE any maintenance service to be performed while you are traveling or
not at the selling dealer. If you need assistance with this you may also contact
your selling dealer’s service department for details.
Q: What if I am
traveling out of town and have a breakdown that would be covered under my
Warranty Forever Contract?
A:
Although you are required to have all repairs performed at your selling dealer,
if you are over 150 miles or more away from your selling dealer, you may take
your vehicle to any licensed repair facility to have your repair work completed.
You may call us at 1-800-810-8458 for assistance or you may contact your selling
dealer’s service department for details. Please remember - all out of state
repair service must be preauthorized or the repairs performed by an outside
dealer will not be accepted.
Q: If my car breaks down and the breakdown
is covered by the Warranty Forever Contract given to me by my selling dealer, am
I required to pay for the repair and then wait to be
reimbursed?
A: No, all repairs are paid by
National Warranty Administration Network (NWAN) by credit card. Please be sure
that all repairs are authorized prior to the repair being completed. All
unauthorized repairs will not be covered.
Q: What if I need to be towed or need a
rental car while my car is being repaired?
A:
Towing and rental car coverage is not provided by your Warranty Forever
contract. However, if you purchased an extended service contract, your extended
service contract will most likely provide that coverage for
you.
Q: What is a licensed repair
facility?
A: Any repair
facility or dealership that employs ASE (Automotive Service Excellence)
technicians. ASE technicians are certified through a national non-profit
organization to ensure the technicians competency in many areas of the
automotive industry. Repair establishments with at least one ASE technician are
permitted to display the ASE sign. Motorists should look for facilities that
display the ASE Blue Seal of Excellence® logo.
A: No, not exactly. As
mentioned earlier, the technicians themselves obtain these certifications. The
facility itself is not certified, however, businesses with a high level of
commitment to ASE (75 percent of service personnel certified) are entitled to a
special "Blue Seal of Excellence" recognition from ASE. You will sometimes see
this logo displayed inside the facility waiting area.
Q: How do I know if an ASE certified technician will be
the one working on my vehicle?
A: One
of the advantages to taking your vehicle to a licensed repair facility is that
if an ASE certified technician is not the individual working on your vehicle
(say, for an oil change), they are still available to assist and oversee the
work being performed. This ensures that the maintenance is being performed
properly, and to the manufacturer’s recommended
specification.
