Premier Auto Protect explains how vehicle owners with a vehicle service contract can use any ASE-certified repair facility, and how this differs from dealership-only service requirements attached to some extended warranty plans.
NEW YORK CITY, NY — Premier Auto Protect, a direct-to-consumer provider of vehicle service contracts, today outlined how owners researching an extended warranty for a car can have covered repairs performed at any ASE-certified facility, and how that differs from plans that require service at a dealership. The clarification is intended to help drivers understand where repairs can take place before they choose a contract. ASE refers to the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence, the nonprofit organization that tests and certifies automotive technicians.
Questions about repair location have become more common as vehicles stay on the road longer. According to S&P Global Mobility, the average age of light vehicles in the United States has reached roughly 12.5 years, which means a growing share of cars and trucks are operating beyond the period covered by factory warranties. Owners in that position often compare vehicle service contracts, also called extended auto warranties, and the terms governing where repairs may be completed are among the details they review.
Under the approach Premier Auto Protect described, a covered repair can be completed at any ASE-certified repair facility nationwide, including independent shops, rather than only at a franchised dealership. The company states that its network includes thousands of such facilities across all 50 states. Owners who travel, relocate, or live far from a dealership of their vehicle’s brand may find a wider range of locations available when a covered component fails.
By contrast, some service agreements limit repairs to dealership service departments or to a short list of approved locations. Those requirements can affect how quickly a vehicle is seen, how far an owner must travel, and whether they can use a preferred local technician. Premier Auto Protect noted that owners should read the repair-location section of any contract and confirm how claims are authorized before work begins.
The company’s plans range from powertrain coverage to exclusionary coverage, which lists what is not covered rather than what is, and they apply to gas, hybrid, and electric vehicles. Plans also include roadside assistance, towing, and rental reimbursement benefits, and the company offers a 30-day money-back guarantee that gives customers time to review their coverage. “Owners should know where a covered repair can be done before they sign anything, because that detail shapes how a claim works in practice,” said Press Relations, Spokesperson of Premier Auto Protect.
