In the event that your item is not covered, we'll keep you updated so you have the ability to decide whether you want us to complete the repair out-of-pocket or not. One benefit is that you won’t have to find the right Pro for the job because we’ll handle that for you. An AHS customer service representative can help answer any questions you might have related to your coverage.
