How Warranty Claims Are Processed:
Understanding how the warranty claim system works and what information is needed to successfully process a claim will help us streamline the procedure to return a result within two to five working days.
Missing information is the most common cause for delays and can lead to the claim being rejected altogether.
This form should be completed by the customer and sent to the original dealer who will then filter and forward it to Starboard’s National Distributor. Or it can be completed by the shop on behalf of the customer and sent to the Starboard National Distributor.
