Every warranty hour, at your door rate.
Manufacturers set warranty labor rates below what your customers pay. We raise yours to match your retail rate, under your state's law.
Raise the factory's rate to match yours.
A higher warranty labor rate covers the real cost of providing service and increases your overall profit.
We analyze your invoice data, assemble the repair orders that support your highest rate, and submit them to the manufacturer.
- Warranty labor at your retail rate
- Rates reviewed every year as costs rise
- Reapplication after a dealership sale
- A low flat fee, never a percentage
Your retail door rate is the number that matters.
Manufacturers usually set a standard warranty labor rate below what your customers pay. State law lets you submit repair orders as proof to justify reimbursement at your retail rate.
The factory has a legal team. Now you do too.
Manufacturers employ experts whose job is to keep warranty rates low. Our team has spent more than 30 years on the other side of that table, helping hundreds of dealers raise their rates.
Review your rate every year.
Costs and inflation rise every year, so your warranty rate should be reviewed every year too. If your dealership is sold, the manufacturer removes prior enhanced rates and the new owner needs to reapply.

New rate
Your higher warranty labor rate goes into effect.
Can I collect the same labor rate and parts markup on warranty as on customer pay?
Yes. It is the law in nearly every state, yet many dealers have not taken advantage of it.
Will the factory audit me if I apply?
Most state laws are written to protect dealers from punitive factory audits. In 30+ years, no client has been audited because of a rate increase.
Why hire a consultant instead of doing it myself?
The factory has legal experts dedicated to keeping your rate low. Ask whether you have the experience, the time, detailed knowledge of the law, and the tools to get every dollar.
What does it cost?
A low, flat fee. We never take a percentage of your increase.
How long does it take?
Most states give the factory 30 days to review your claim once it is submitted. We handle every step before and after.
