Repair claim submission use case
Use case scenarios demonstrate when and how to use the Dealer portal application to submit a repair claim. It provides practical examples of common repair or warranty management situations.
Scenario
James, a dealer service advisor, completed a warranty repair on customer Ken's 2023 Alectri Voltar VS and must submit a claim for OEM reimbursement. Service advisors submitting warranty claims face critical challenges:
- Manual entry: Part and labor codes entered manually create errors and delays.
- Fragmented systems: Multiple platforms required to manage claims and track status.
- Documentation gaps: Incomplete or missing documents cause claim rejections.
- Calculation errors: Manual cost calculations increase processing time and dispute risk.
Solution
Submit the warranty repair claim using the MCO Dealer Portal through a guided experience:
- Access: Open the unified Dealer Portal and navigate to warranty repair claim submission.
- Populate: Select vehicle by asset number or VIN, dealership location, and repair date. System auto-populates asset details.
- Capture: Enter parts details (number, quantity, unit cost) and select pre-populated labor codes with hours. System automatically calculates all costs and taxes.
- Complete: Upload supporting documents (work orders, repair photos) and submit for OEM review.
