In the rare situation where a dispute over repairs arises, Members have CAA to act on their behalf with the shop.
Fair, fast, free and final!
Every facility has agreed by contract to accept CAA as an independent and final authority on any dispute with Members over work performed.

An alternative to court.
Choose wisely, and be aware that when you use one, you will no longer be eligible to use the other.
Weigh the pros and cons of each carefully, and compare your alternatives closely. The range of awards through CAMVAP may be more or less than those of the court.
An arbitrator will schedule a hearing to listen to both sides of the case, weigh the evidence, and make a decision.
