Avoiding Compliance Risks in Auto Warranty Claims

Navigating the complexities of warranty claims and submissions can be challenging for dealerships. Ensuring compliance with Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) guidelines while maximizing profitability is no small feat. Dealer360’s Warranty Rate Optimization (WRO) software offers a powerful solution, enabling dealerships to streamline the submission process, avoid compliance risks, and secure higher warranty labor and parts rates.

Why Compliance Matters in Warranty Claims

Compliance is a critical factor in warranty submissions. Failure to meet OEM guidelines can lead to costly rejections, wasted time, and potential financial penalties. Common compliance challenges dealerships face include:

  • Inaccurate Repair Orders (ROs): Submissions with disqualifying elements or incomplete documentation.
  • Manual Errors: Time-consuming processes prone to human mistakes.
  • Regulatory Missteps: Changing regulations that can be difficult to track and implement.

Dealer360’s WRO software eliminates these risks by automating, optimizing, and ensuring compliance throughout the warranty submission process.

WRO uses advanced algorithms to optimize warranty submissions. It calculates Effective Labor Rates (ELR) and Effective Parts Markups precisely, ensuring every submission meets OEM standards. This helps to:

  • Minimize manual errors.
  • Maximize the chance of approval.
  • Simplify the submission process with automated calculations.

2. Intelligent Analysis with Machine Learning
