Overview

In this tutorial, you will learn how to close claims in CareGARDWarranty.com (CGW). When customers have service performed that is covered by the pre-paid maintenance contract, you (the dealer) use CGW to submit those claims to the third-party administrator and close them when the service has been completed and the claim is ready to be paid.
