“Pitcrew Warranty” Limited Warranty

“Pitcrew Warranty” Limited Warranty

  1. PARTY TO WHOM THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS EXTENDED

This Limited Warranty is extended to the original buyer (“you”) of the used motor vehicle purchased from SKIP’S LLC (the “Vehicle”).  It cannot be transferred to another person.  The “Administrator” of this Limited Warranty is SKIP’S LLC (“Skip’s,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) or any company we appoint to provide administrative services.

  1. DURATION OF COVERAGE

This Limited Warranty begins on the Vehicle sale date and lasts 90 days or 4,000 miles beyond the date and mileage stated on the Bill of Sale, whichever comes first.  ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE DURATION OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE MINIMUM PERIOD PERMITTED BY FEDERAL AND/OR STATE LAW, WHICHEVER IS LESS.

  1. WHAT THIS LIMITED WARRANTY COVERS

This Limited Warranty covers all factory installed mechanical or electrical components listed below except in cases outlined in Section 5 and only if their defect or malfunction is caused by a “Mechanical Breakdown”.  A Mechanical Breakdown is defined as the failure of a covered component or assembly to perform as designed under the normal operating conditions, due solely to defects in materials or faulty workmanship.  A covered component has failed when it can no longer perform the function for which it was designed solely because of its condition and not because of the action or inaction of any non-covered component.  A Mechanical Breakdown DOES NOT include the gradual reduction in operating performance due to wear and tear.  Covered components may be repaired, replaced, or adjusted at the option of the Administrator.  Replacement of any part may be made with new parts or parts of any like kind or quality, at the Administrators option.  Alternatively, the Administrator may, at its option, reimburse the Buyer the cost to remedy any covered component.  The cost may not exceed the manufacturer’s suggested retail price for parts and labor allowances published by Mitchell Repair Information Co.

  1. HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE
  1. Prevent further damage and take your vehicle to a franchised dealership or repair facility. If your Vehicle incurs a Mechanical Breakdown, the Buyer must take immediate action to prevent further damage.  You are responsible for observing the Vehicle’s warning lights and gauges, and taking appropriate action immediately.  Failure to do so may result in the denial or the limitation of coverage.  You must take your Vehicle to a franchised dealership or properly licensed repair facility in order to open a claim.
  2. Provide the repair facility manager with the Limited Warranty details so he/she may obtain Authorization from the Administrator. Prior to any repair being made, instruct the service manager at the licensed repair facility to obtain authorization for the claim by contacting the Administrator at (347) 754 7794 with an estimate for repairs.
  3. Authorize tear-down if necessary. Authorize the repair facility to diagnose your Vehicle and if necessary authorize tear-down so the repair facility can provide an accurate diagnosis and estimate.
  4. Review coverage. Once the Administrator has been contacted and if necessary, has inspected the vehicle, review the authorized repair work with the facility manager.
  5. Payment of claims. Submit a legible copy or the original repair order to the Administrator.  Repair orders must contain: repair facility name, address, and phone number, repair diagnosis, parts and labor hours, authorization number, Vehicle identification number, Vehicle mileage, Vehicle year, make, and model.  Submit the repair order to the Administrator within 90 days.
