Warranty Administrator Training
Most warranty admins learned on the job. Nobody sat down and taught them what Ford actually expects from a Complaint, Cause, and Correction. Nobody explained why the same op code generates denials at one store and gets paid every time at another.
We come to your dealership. We review your actual claim return history before we arrive. Day 2 uses your real repair orders — not textbook examples. By the end of the week, your admin knows exactly what Ford is looking for on every claim.
OWS navigation, warranty types, DAS score, Warranty Excellence Status, 3C standard.
Live coaching using real repair orders from your claim return history.
Pre-auth, SSPN, STARS system, campaigns, recalls.
Your actual claim return codes reviewed. Appeal strategy per code. Audit survival.
All 5 DAS metrics with point values: Repair Cost Variance (50 pts), Potential Repeat Repair (20 pts), RO Open/Close Time (10 pts), RO Close/Submit Time (10 pts), Claim First Time Through (10 pts).

Nobody identified the root cause. We find it in the first day.

We map every metric that feeds it and show you which one to fix first.
Open receivables nobody has had time to chase.
Active supplemental notices your team didn't catch — money left on the table.
"Most dealers recover the cost of the audit in the first corrected claim."
Warranty Audit & Consulting
We review your last 90 days of claims, map every claim return code against your op codes and technicians, and deliver a written action plan with specific fixes — not vague recommendations.
Virtual or on-site. Two days or one month. Every engagement ends with a written deliverable your team can act on immediately.
Schedule Cleanup & Recovery
Open warranty receivables nobody had time to chase. Extended warranty balances that fell through the cracks. Fleet warranty aged items that are about to fall off entirely. Most Ford dealers have between $5,000 and $40,000 sitting in their schedules right now.
We audit your warranty schedule, extended warranty/VSC schedule, and fleet warranty schedule — identify every recoverable item — and work each one through the right process to collect it. You pay a flat fee plus a percentage of what we actually recover. If we don't find anything significant, you're not out much.
Disputed claims, aged receivables, and items stuck in review that nobody has followed up on.
Extended service plan and vehicle service contract balances — often the most overlooked receivables at a Ford store.
Commercial fleet warranty claims frequently age out without collection. We find them and collect them.
You pay nothing if we don't find anything significant
For stores that want to hand off the entire warranty department. We handle everything — RO review, OWS submission, return and chargeback appeals, and monthly Ford Dashboard reporting. Flat monthly fee from $4,000. Performance bonus only activates when your Ford Dashboard metrics improve. Total never exceeds $7,500/month.
Why ClaimIQ
Our founder Santos Rivera spent time as a Warranty Dealer Advocate on Ford's own Warranty Assistance Team — the same team that resolves warranty disputes between Ford and its dealers. He's sat on Ford's side of the audit table and he's sat in your warranty admin's chair.
He knows what Ford's auditors look for. He knows which documentation patterns trigger chargebacks. He knows what the Complaint field needs to say, what causal part number belongs in the Cause field, and what the Correction field has to include to justify the labor.
That experience is what every ClaimIQ training, audit, and cleanup is built on. Not a software algorithm. A person who's been inside Ford's warranty program and inside your kind of store.
Member of Ford's own Warranty Assistance Team — worked directly with dealers on disputes and DAS improvement.
From rental car manager to service advisor, service manager, fixed ops director, warranty admin, and Ford WAT.
Submitted, reviewed, and appealed Ford warranty claims through OWS directly — not theoretically.
