Overview

In this tutorial, you will learn how to submit claims in CareGARDWarranty.com (CGW). 

When customers have service performed that is covered by the prepaid maintenance contract, you (the dealer) use CGW to submit those claims to the third-party administrator and close them when the service has been completed and the claim is ready to be paid.

Submitting Claims

In this section, you will learn how to submit a claim to the third-party administrator from whom the customer purchased the service contract.
