I am leaning towards AAAutowarranty and my dealer told me that they will not accept outside warranty. service advisor says they don't make any calls for payment. I guess I will ask AAAutowarranty if I could pay it than get reimbursed.
The Platinum contract from AAAutowarranty, available online (as are all the contracts), says you can be reimbursed if the facility won't deal with the warranty itself:
HOW CLAIMS ARE AUTHORIZED-1) Present your service
agreement, 2) Authorize the repairer to diagnose the concerns
with your vehicle, 3) Make sure the repair facility obtains a
repair authorization number from the Administrator to assure
proper payment under this agreement.
PAYMENT TO SERVICE FACILITY: In the event that payment
is to be made directly to the Service facility we will make
payment directly via Visa/Mastercard, American Express, or
Corporate Check upon receipt of the repair order bearing the
authorization number and your signature, and copies of all sublet
bills or receipts.
PAYMENT TO YOU - In the event that you pay for repairs or
services authorized by us, the Administrator will mail a claim
check upon receipt of the paid signed repair bill bearing the
authorization number, and copies of all sublet bills or receipts.
