LIMITED NATIONWIDE
REPAIR WARRANTY

WHO MAKES THIS LIMITED WARRANTY

This limited warranty is extended only to you, the original purchaser, and not to anyone who may purchase your vehicle from you during the term of the warranty. This limited warranty is made by the Independent Repair Facility ("Facility") who is so named on the original repair invoice and performed the service/repairs on your vehicle. This warranty may be honored by other Facilities participating in this program, or other authorized non-participating facilities anywhere in the United States. This warranty is not a warranty of Automotive Business Solutions, Inc., their affiliates, subsidiaries, their employees or member companies. Automotive Business Solutions Inc. serves as the administrator only.

WHAT IS COVERED BY THE LIMITED WARRANTY

This warranty covers the following types of repairs and services, subject to the exclusions listed within:

• Air Conditioning, heating and climate control systems

The Independent Repair Facility warrants that the above repairs and services performed at their location will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for 12 months or 12,000 miles of use, whichever comes first, measured from the date of the first repair and the odometer reading shown on the original repair invoice. This warranty is conditioned on the vehicle being subjected only to normal, non-commercial use, and receiving reasonable and necessary maintenance during the warranty period. Warranty repair costs shall in no case exceed the costs of the original repair or service. If there is a defect in either materials or workmanship within the warranty period, the Independent Repair Facility has the option to perform remedial service work at no charge to you, replace the defective warranted part(s) without charge to you, or refund the entire charge for the warranted repairs, minus any previous refunds.

A buyer of covered products or services has the right to have warranty service performed during the warranty period. The warranty period will be extended for the number of whole days that the vehicle has been out of the buyer's hands for warranty repairs. If a defect exists within the warranty period, the warranty will not expire until the defect has been fixed. The warranty period will also be extended if the warranty repairs have not been performed due to delays caused by circumstances beyond the control of the buyer, or if the warranty repairs did not remedy the defect, and the buyer notifies the warranty administrator of the failure of the repairs within 60 days after they were completed. If, after a reasonable number of attempts, the defect has not been fixed, the buyer may return his vehicle for a replacement of parts, if applicable, or a refund, in either case, subject to deduction of a reasonable charge for usage. This time extension does not affect the protections or remedies the buyer has under any law.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY

You must pay for any non-warranty service you order to be performed at the same time as any warranty service. This warranty will not apply to your repaired vehicle if it has been damaged by abnormal use, misuse, neglect, accident, alteration or "tampering with" (by other than the Facility or Facility employees).

BASIC TIRE CARE
 
Proper Inflation

Maintaining proper air pressure is the most important thing a driver can do for their tires. A tire can lose 10 pounds of air pressure In the space of just one month. To make sure your tires are neither under- nor over-inflated, it is important to check air pressure regularly. Under-inflation causes increased tread-wear on the outside edges of the tire. Under-inflation also reduces tire durability and reduces fuel economy .

Over-inflation is also damaging to your tires. Over-inflation causes uneven wear. Uneven wear will shorten the lifespan of tires.

To find the proper air pressure for tires check your tires and vehicle owner's manual. Check your tire air pressure at least once a month.

Balance & Alignment
Tires need to be balanced and properly aligned to extend the longevity of the tire. And increase the safety of the driver and to the performance of the vehicle.

Unbalanced tires cause road vibration causes premature tire wear and unnecessary wear to vehicle's suspension. Tires should be balanced when they are mounted on wheels for the first time or when they are remounted after repair. At first sign of shimmy or vibration, your tires should be balanced.  

For even tread-wear proper alignment is necessary. Uneven front or rear tire wear, or changes in a vehicle's handling or steering can indicate misalignment.

The cost of keeping your tires balanced and your vehicle properly aligned will more than pay for itself in tire mileage performance and comfort.

Regular Rotation
Regular rotation is necessary to maintain even tread-wear and get the most out of your tires.

You should check your owner's manual for the manufacturer's rotation recommendations.
