Car Rentals MUST go through the warranty co. Centric does not facilitate car rentals. Repair denials, the customer is to be responsible for diagnostic fees and any other related fees.

Awareness of Apparent Defects: The owner and / or operator must discontinue driving the vehicle after a defect is apparent. Apparent defects include, but are not limited to, overheating, low oil pressure and unusual engine noise. Today’s vehicles are far more complex than those of several years ago. With that in mind there are numerous preformed hoses and lines where a pinhole leak can develop and go undetected. Should you have to add coolant to your cooling system, this indicates something is wrong. You now have become aware of a problem, and it must be solved before continuing to drive the vehicle. Often these leaks are very small, and the vehicle owner never sees any fluid leaking. Over time so much fluid has leaked from the cooling system, that the temperature sensor is not immersed in water but surrounded by air, thus the sensor cannot read air temperature and therefore gives the operator a false reading. Failure to stop driving, upon becoming aware of an apparent defect, will void this warranty.
