Repair Claim Kit
Before you pay for a repair, find out what the manufacturer already told its dealers about it. Pick your car and the problem: the kit gathers the service bulletins, any warranty extension and its terms, the recalls, and what other owners reported and at what mileage — and drafts a dated letter to the dealer that cites each document by number. You see exactly what it will hold before you pay.
What is in it
Source: NHTSA’s public filesThe documents, by number
Every service bulletin and special-coverage program the manufacturer filed with NHTSA about your problem on your model year, with what each says.
The pattern
How many owners reported the same problem, at what mileage, and what they wrote — the record that says it is not just your car.
The letter
A dated letter to the service manager, copied to the manufacturer, citing the documents and asking for the repair to be covered in writing.
Common questions
Source: WhichTrimWhat is a Repair Claim Kit?
A printable pack for one problem on one model year: the manufacturer's own bulletins and warranty extensions about it, the recalls on the system, the owner-report pattern, and a letter to the dealer that cites them by number.
Does it guarantee the repair will be covered?
No. It puts the documented record in front of the dealer and the manufacturer. Whether they pay depends on your warranty, any coverage program's terms, and their goodwill policy. It is not legal advice.
Where does the information come from?
NHTSA's public files — manufacturer communications, recalls, complaints and investigations — as WhichTrim publishes them for every model year. The facts are free on each model year's page; the kit organises them for your problem and drafts the letter.
Do I need an account?
No. You pay once through Stripe, and the kit opens in your browser to print or save as a PDF. Stripe emails the receipt.
What happens after I pay?
Stripe brings you back to your kit’s page, where it is assembled for your car and problem. Print it or save it as a PDF there: that copy is yours to keep.
