What will happen when repairs are required under warranty

What you must do to obtain warranty service

To obtain warranty service you must have this receipt and present it, along with the vehicle originally serviced, at the time you are requesting warranty repairs. If your receipt is not presented at the time warranty service is requested, you will be charged for any parts that may have been covered under warranty and no refunds will be issued if the receipt is located at a later date.
