The kit
The free checker told you where you stand. The kit is what you carry back into the store: the scripts, the playbooks, the worksheets, and the templates for the whole fight — all four chains, every wall, one payment. Here is the complete contents list, nothing held back.
Dataset behind every page: the four chains' published warranty documents. Checked Oct 20, 2026 Re-verified quarterly Gaps flagged, never filled
The exact words for the record fight, per chain. AutoZone: the five-path ask (phone, store phone, name spelled, ZIP, card) plus the back-office server ask for when the front computer's recent-items list misses. O'Reilly: the §1.1 script — asking the store to search the national database its own terms describe. Advance: the statement-led search and the register-reprint request, plus the phone-order account-gap line. NAPA: the tag-process walkthrough — what to hand over, what to copy first. Plus the universal script that ends every first visit the same way: the ruling, in writing.
Each chain's full map on its own pages: the walls, the published escape hatches, the traps with their document citations. AutoZone: free-period ladder, proration, the original-date replacement rule, roadside line. Advance: the 45-day/receipt anchor, the companion-part trap table. O'Reilly: §1.1, §1.4 exclusions, §2 battery routing, the 90-day-or-remainder replacement floor. NAPA: the tag, the 30-day clock, the discretion clause, the honest gaps (marked unverified, never filled).
The failure-conditions worksheet (the exact words to hand the counter before a retest), the heat-and-load retest script, the numbers-to-demand list (readings, thresholds, tester), the independent-test play (which second opinions counters actually respect), and the escalation-file format that turns two conflicting test records into a corporate case.
Shot lists per part — batteries, alternators, starters, brake pads, and the rest: the two-sides-in-one-frame shot, the scale reference, the mating surfaces, the labels and date codes. The defect-pattern library (delamination, fracture, asymmetry, prematurity, repetition) described pattern by pattern, with what each one proves and the counter it closes.
The published formula — (remaining ÷ total) × price — with the free-period check that comes first, three worked examples at different prices and windows, and a blank worksheet to complete before any store quotes you a number. Includes the era page: why a replacement battery's clock runs from the original purchase date, and how pre-2021 purchases are graded on their own era's terms.
When the 90-day downgrade is real and when it's spoken without a document behind it: the per-chain clause table (written at Advance and O'Reilly; not found in AutoZone's or NAPA's published texts), the day-count worksheet, the classification fact sheet (what to write down about your vehicle's use before the counter conversation), and the 'show me the term' script.
The ladder on one card with every published number (AutoZone 1-800-288-6966, Advance 1-877-238-2623, O'Reilly Warranty Administration 1-866-830-4351, AutoZone roadside 1-866-679-2374, and NAPA's honest gap with the owner/tag route instead). The BBB complaint template — the five sections that get formal corporate answers — and the state attorney-general template. Plus the claim log: one page per claim for dates, names, findings, and clocks.
The 90-second till checklist (the phone number, the spelling, the ZIP, the card, the printed period — checked before you leave), the same-evening envelope system, the battery date-pen protocol, and the companion-part receipt habit that keeps A/C, fuel-pump, and clutch claims alive. The cheapest pages in the kit: they delete future fights.
$39 one time — every pack above, yours to keep
For scale: one alternator is $180–$350 in the part alone. One prorated battery credit computed wrong can cost more than this kit. And the questions this kit answers are the ones people currently pay per-question expert sites to ask — one question at a time.

No — and be careful with anyone who offers that; no such dedicated service exists for parts warranties. This is a kit: the scripts, playbooks, worksheets, and templates, built from the chains' own published documents. You make the calls and the visits; the kit makes sure you make them with the record, the math, and the words.
Yes, and it's built in. The chains honor the terms as described at the time of sale, so the kit carries the era rules: the checker's era note, the replacement-clock rules, and the pre-2021 note that your receipt's printed period controls. If a term has changed since your purchase, the correction log tracks it.
Then the honest answer is the free one: run the checker first. It grades proof and standing against the written exclusions and says "weak" when the claim is weak. The kit doesn't rewrite any chain's exclusions — it wins the claims the documents support and documents the ones worth escalating.
All four chains — AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, O'Reilly, NAPA — and the parts this fight is about: batteries, alternators, starters, brake pads, and other lifetime-warrantied parts. Where a chain's record has a gap (NAPA's missing national number is the standing example), the kit flags it instead of inventing one.

You know the sentence they used. You know what the document says. The kit puts the two side by side — and adds the script, the worksheet, and the ladder. One $39 payment; the fight is yours to run, with the paperwork done.
