Claims FAQ

Welcome to the Empire State Warranty Claims FAQ page. Here, we answer your most common questions about our claims process. If you are a consumer, please visit the consumer FAQ. If you don’t find the information you’re looking for, feel free to contact us for assistance.

How to file a claim?

*Note: Consumers are not responsible or permitted to file a claim. All claims must be submitted by a repair facility. Repair facilities may file a claim through our start a claim page.

How long does the claims process take?

As long as we have all the information necessary to process a claim, including the estimate with the parts and labor breakdown, the current odometer reading on the vehicle, and information about how the vehicle was diagnosed, the typical timeframe for a response is under 30 minutes, provided that the claim is submitted during normal business hours. 

What is the proper process to file a claim?

The best practice is to file the claim on our website, as that submission form asks all necessary questions for beginning the process. Alternative methods of filing, such as phone calls or emails, can delay the processing time, as we may still have missing information or unanswered questions necessary for our approval process. 

If a claim is approved, how do I get paid?

All we need is for you to email us the signed copy of the repair order or estimate that was submitted for authorization, and we will pay via digital credit card; or, if you are an in-network repair facility, we can pay via direct ACH, avoiding any applicable credit card fees.

What is an in-network repair facility?

Our In-Network Program provides benefits to repair facilities that we have approved to work with us. The perks include:

  • ACH payment on authorized claims
  • Adding your location to our online in-network repair facility map
  • Any customers with the disappearing deductible perk (which is the default on the majority of our contracts) will have a $0 deductible at any in-network facilities, allowing the customers to minimize any out-of-pocket expenses
  • We actively refer business to in-network facilities in a customer’s area
