Fact-Checking Policy

Last updated: 20 June 2026

Verification

Every claim about contract language, pricing, or claim handling is verified against a real vehicle service contract we have on file or against a primary source (state insurance filing, FTC guidance, NAIC bulletin). Where multiple administrators handle a term differently, we say so.

Update cadence

Pillar guides are reviewed every six months. Supporting articles are reviewed whenever regulations, major administrators, or industry practice change materially.

Corrections workflow

Reader-reported errors are triaged within three business days. Confirmed errors are corrected in the article and noted with a dated "Correction" line at the bottom.

Sources we trust

  • FTC consumer guidance on auto warranties
  • NAIC (National Association of Insurance Commissioners) bulletins
  • State insurance regulator filings and rate decisions
  • AM Best insurer financial-strength ratings
  • Actual contracts from manufacturers, dealers, and third-party administrators
