Prior authority must be obtained before the repair commences

1. As the selling dealer you can make an online request for authorisation, we will pay you directly for valid claims.
2. Search Halfords Autocentre on Google to find their nearest garage, they are Automotion's national approved repair network who will obtain online authorisation on their behalf and we will pay Halfords directly (please quote account number 2838)
3. They can use any VAT registered garage who can diagnose a) the failed part b) the cause of failure c) the cost of repair
Prior authority must then be obtained before the repair commences
For authorised claims, Automotion can pay either the repairer or your customer directly
4. If the repairer and customer refuse to deal directly with Automotion, the only option is for you, as the selling dealer, to treat it as a sublet repair.
You would liaise with the repairer, make the online claim; you would then pay the repairer and Automotion would pay you.
As a a rule diagnosis time is not covered by Automotion warranty.
The only exceptions being those repairs highlighted in the manuafacturer repair manual as requiring an error code to be found using the IDS machine.
Automotion warranty will only pay for the labour times shown in the manufacturer repair manual.
The customer must authorise the stripping down.
This is for occasions where no failed part is found, and there is no valid repair.
If a failed part is located and a valid repair authorised, Automotion will pay for the stripping and reassembling of the engine/gearbox.
Car hire is only available 24 hours after work has commenced on the vehicle, which is a repair time of over 8 hours.
An alternator or starter motor would never qualify for car hire as the repair time is only 2 - 3 hours
In certain circumstances where a short engine must come from the manufacturer, car hire will be paid.
In cases where a part is on back order or the repairer is too busy to repair the vehicle immediately, car hire is not available.
If the repair qualifies for car hire, a request should be included when obtaining repair authority.
For online claims, the initial response time is 10 minutes.
If you have provided the relevant documentation, authorisation should follow the same day.
For larger engine/gearbox claims an engineer may have to inspect the stripped down components (next day assessment).
No excess, Automotion pays the full authorised repair cost (unless the customer has chosen a warranty with a voluntary excess).
No betterment charge, we pay for new genuine parts, even if the vehicle is over 10 years old or 100,000 miles.
If you wish to use factor or reconditioned parts, because there is a £1,000 or £2,000 claim limit, Automotion will not object.
No 30 day period, Automotion warranty has day one cover.
If a wiper motor works on the delivery date and fails the next day, Automotion will pay for the repair
VAT invoices should be emailed to enquiries.automotion@uk.qbe.com
For repairers already set up on the Automotion online claims system, please upload your invoice via Manage Attachments/Attach Invoice, so that there is a paperless transaction.
Once the VAT invoice has been received, a BACS payment will be made upon the 20th of the following month.
