About The Position

In the past several years, retailers have begun to take advantage of state statutes that require Subaru to reimburse both labor and parts at individually-selected rates. Each request requires analysis of the retailer's actual customer pay rates by submitting a 100-repair order analysis; this analysis is extensive, tightly controlled by state statutes (30-day response time in most states), and has a direct impact on Subaru's claim costs. This job is responsible for all reimbursement activities to retailers.
