How RV Dealerships Handle Warranty Claims — A Guide from Endless Roads RV & Marine Centre
At Endless Roads RV & Marine Centre in Cornwall, Ontario, we treat every customer like family—long after the sale is made. Whether you're exploring the roads or preparing for your next adventure, understanding how warranty claims are handled ensures a smoother, stress-free experience. Here's how the process unfolds, with a focus on what we offer right here at Endless Roads.
1. Noticing an Issue and Reaching Out
If something seems off—maybe the slide-out isn’t operating smoothly or an appliance underperforms—the warranty journey begins. At this point, you simply reach out to our Service Department to book an inspection.
2. Thorough Inspection and Documentation
Once at our service centre, one of our certified technicians—supported by our Warranty Administrator, Deborah MacGowanEndless Roads RV—carefully examines the issue. We:
-
Diagnose the problem and document findings in detail.
-
Capture photos or videos of the issue, along with identifiable serial or model numbers (especially for components like appliances).
-
Classify the concern—e.g., malfunctioning appliance, plumbing, electrical system, cabinetry, slide-out mechanism.
3. Submitting the Claim to the Manufacturer
After gathering evidence, our team files a formal claim with the manufacturer or relevant component supplier. We include the diagnostic report, imagery, and any parts needed.
Note: We act as the intermediary—only the manufacturer or supplier has the authority to approve warranty repairs.
4. Approval & Repair Execution
Once approved:
-
Our technicians carry out the repair or installation of new parts.
-
If repairs involve complex diagnosis that takes longer than the allocated time, our shop absorbs the difference—this can make warranty service a cost-intensive process for dealerships.
5. Follow-up & Customer Support
At Endless Roads, we prioritize communication:
-
From scheduling to post-repair check-in, you're kept informed—just like our customers describe:
“Very helpful, friendly service... they were very quick to respond and sent us the required parts ASAP.”Endless Roads RV
“Great communications for some warranty work on my RV…”Endless Roads RV
Our team takes pride in guiding you seamlessly through each step.
6. Managing Priorities & Expectations
We understand RV ownership isn't always straightforward. Drawing from industry best practices:
-
Issues that prevent you from using your RV (Priority 1) are handled first.
-
Less urgent concerns (Priority 2) are addressed as time allows, especially during peak periodsEndless Roads RV.
-
Certain repairs may require manufacturer authorization, and parts may take weeks to arrive. We keep you updated every step of the wayEndless Roads RV.
7. Extended Warranties and Additional Coverage
While our warranty process primarily addresses manufacturer or component issues, we can also help guide you through extended coverage options. These often require pre-authorization and may carry visit-based deductibles, similar to policy claims you might see in extended auto or RV coverage
