Use your CARS Protection Plus contract at a Miami repair shop

CARS Protection Plus contracts are sold through thousands of car dealers, often on used cars. CARS lets you pick your repair facility within its rules, and it is strict about one thing: the shop must open a claim and get an authorization number before any repair. Sprinter Garage follows those steps from diagnosis to invoice.

Its rules for the repair facility

CARS says the vehicle must be at a repair facility in the United States, open to the public during normal business hours, that can diagnose and rebuild components. You may choose your facility, but CARS reserves the right to have repairs done somewhere else. It also says it will not pay unauthorized repair invoices.

CARS can pay the shop directly or reimburse you after a final invoice, depending on the case. Your deductible and rental benefits vary by contract, so check your ID card or contract.
