The Vehicle Service Center Script
Hello, my name is_______ in the Vehicle Service Center, and this is a standard warranty
check-up.
WHEN INFORMATION IS ON THE SCREEN:
I am reviewing the file on the (YEAR/MAKE/MODEL)
Are you still the current owner?
WHEN INFORMATION IS NOT ON THE SCREEN:
Please state the (YEAR/MAKE/MODEL) of your vehicle.
Okay, we have been sending some final notifications in the mail and have yet to receive
a response. The file does indicate that you have yet to extend past your vehicle’s
factory coverage.
Now, roughly how many miles are on the vehicle?
IF THERE ARE LESS THAN 190,000 MILES CONTINUE CALL
It appears you MAY still be eligible for the extended warranty on the vehicle. (The file is
currently pending cancellation, rather than continue to close out the file today,) I am
going to transfer you to a senior coverage specialist. The specialist will provide you with
the accurate information on what your protection covers and cost.
Please hold while I connect you to your senior coverage specialist, OKAY?
GET A CLEAR “OKAY” & WAIT 3 SECONDS BEFORE YOU TRANSFER THE CALL
Rebuttals Questions and Answers Script
1. Why are you calling me?
A. Good question, this is a courtesy call to give you one last opportunity to
protect your vehicle before it breaks down. (BACK TO SCRIPT)
2. Why should I give you this information? Shouldn’t you have it already?
A. By you providing me your year, make & model I can determine whether
you may be eligible for an extended warranty on your vehicle. Please state
your year, make & model. (BACK TO THE SCRIPT)
B. I get it, however due to security protocols to protect your information, I
cannot disclose any information without you verifying the YEAR/MAKE/
MODEL of your Vehicle. (BACK TO SCRIPT)
3. Who are you?
A. Good question, this is the Vehicle Service Center. We handle all the
policies that are sold, bought, and recognized at all (Manufacturer)
dealerships nationwide. If you choose to accept our coverage today, you
can continue going to your local dealership that will not change for you.
(BACK TO SCRIPT)
B. IN ADDITION, WHEN PROSPECT DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHO YOU ARE.
We provide auto protection plans that help consumers with the rising cost
of repairs. (BACK TO SCRIPT)
4. Is this a Scam?

Warranties that are sold at the Dealerships Nationwide and as a Direct
Marketing Company we can sell at a lower price. (BACK TO SCRIPT)

A. In certain States, when you register your car, we have access to that
information. (BACK TO SCRIPT)
6. Why do you keep calling me?

you to my specialist who can assist you with that information, okay?
