What Happens After a Warranty Claim Is Submitted
After you file a claim, warranty reviews documents, may require pre-auth before R&R, and schedules inspection — know the timeline and what to upload.
Quick Answer
After you **submit a warranty claim**, the team reviews activation, invoices, and scan data, assigns a case number, and may require **pre-authorization before removal** — approval is not automatic until documentation is complete.
Typical timeline
1. **Intake** — claim number and document checklist. 2. **Review** — activation, fluid, install, and reflash proof. 3. **Pre-auth** — approval before R&R when required. 4. **Inspection / resolution** — approved repair, denial with reason, or more info requested.
What speeds approval
Upload all items from /blog/documents-required-warranty-claim before calling.
FAQ
