CLAIMS GUIDE

How VSC Claims Actually Work

Filing a claim is simple. Here's exactly what happens from the moment your car breaks down to when it's repaired.

1

Your Vehicle Breaks Down

Your car experiences a mechanical or electrical failure covered by your VSC plan. Don't panic — this is exactly what your plan is for.

2

Take It to Any Licensed Repair Shop

Most VSC plans let you take your vehicle to any licensed mechanic or dealership. Some plans have preferred networks — check your contract.

3

The Shop Calls Your Provider

The repair shop contacts your VSC provider directly to get authorization for the repair. You don't need to do anything — the shop handles this.

4

Repair Gets Approved

The provider reviews the claim, confirms it's covered under your plan, and approves payment directly to the shop. Most authorizations happen same-day.

5

You Pay Only Your Deductible

When you pick up your vehicle, you only pay your deductible (typically $100–$200). The provider pays the rest directly to the shop.
