The last thing you expect to happen when you get your car serviced or repaired is getting your
\nwarranty voided and your claim rejected.<\/p>\n

The main reason why you purchased an extended car warranty is that in case your car breaks
\ndown, you don\u2019t have to worry about paying for expensive repairs because the warranty covers
\nthe expenses.<\/p>\n

1. Don\u2019t Ignore the Warning Signs on Your Dashboard!<\/h3>\n

Just because you\u2019re used to ignoring red flags on relationships, doesn\u2019t mean your car needs to
\nsuffer too. Never ignore the warning signs blinking on your dashboard or lighting up, there\u2019s a
\nreason for why they\u2019re there, to warn you!<\/p>\n

Each symbol on your dashboard corresponds to different parts of your car. Now we all know
\nthat some symbols are common knowledge but there are still several icons we don\u2019t know. This
\nis why you need to read your owner\u2019s manual. You\u2019ll be able to know which part of your vehicle
\nneeds attention.<\/p>\n

2. Don\u2019t Forget to Follow Scheduled Maintenance<\/h3>\n

Although, we sometimes get the urge to follow an irregular maintenance schedule if you don\u2019t
\nwant to get your claim rejected in the future because you were \u201ctoo busy\u201d to have your car
\nserviced.<\/p>\n

Following your scheduled maintenance is not only good for your warranty but it would do
\nwonders for your car. When you follow the schedule religiously, you\u2019re sure to have your car up
\nand running for a long time.<\/p>\n

3. Think Twice Before Deciding on Vehicle Modifications<\/h3>\n

Are you planning on getting an upgrade on vehicle performance and install some turbo or how
\nabout an aftermarket CNG kit? Well, think again! Although you want to customize your car, you
\nhave to think twice before doing it. Turns out that warranty providers can reject a claim in case
\nthey find out that the modification done on the vehicle caused the issue.<\/p>\n

There are some aftermarket parts you can install or modifications you can do that will not void
\nyour warranty. Back in the day, several warranty providers misused warranties and disclaimers.
\nIt was so rampant that in 1975, the government enacted a law that would fight against these
\nexploitations. The law came to be known as the Magnuson\u2013Moss Warranty Act.<\/p>\n

4. Stop Driving Like You\u2019re Baby from Baby Driver<\/h3>\n

Stop going on road rage and drive like you\u2019re the only one on the road. Turns out that warranty
\nproviders can know if you\u2019ve been misusing or driving your vehicle to the limits.<\/p>\n

Not only will the parts of your car wear faster, but there\u2019s also a big chance that your car will
\nbreak down sooner than later. Well, it\u2019s a no-brainer that you should be a responsible driver
\nbut some people just need to be reminded often. It\u2019s not just about preserving your car but
\nmore about preserving your life and the life of other people on the road.<\/p>\n

5. Forgetting to Keep a Paper Trail<\/h3>\n

Every time that you get your car serviced for maintenance, always keep a record of every
\ntransaction you did and keep at least a copy of your receipts in case you\u2019ll lose the original.
\nPractice taking pictures of your transaction receipts and of the products purchased for
\nmaintenance before storing them safely. It\u2019s more convenient to have it on your phone and
\naccessible anytime.<\/p>\n

Why? Sometimes, warranty providers will argue that you didn\u2019t follow the recommended
\nmaintenance schedule or used a product that isn\u2019t of quality, and from that have a reason to
\nreject a claim you filed. So to avoid this, make sure you kept proof of all the transactions.<\/p>\n

Key Take-Away<\/h3>\n

For you to avoid getting your claims rejected and your warranties voided, always remember to
\nfollow scheduled maintenance, never ignore warning signs, be a responsible driver and always
\nkeep records of your maintenance. Although there\u2019s a law that could save you from getting a
\nclaim rejected with your modified car, this doesn\u2019t mean that you are free to do whatever
\nmodification you want because there are certain alterations that can damage your vehicle. If
