Before the warranty ends: the 30-day checklist
The most valuable days of a warranty are its last ones: small problems can still be fixed for free — if you catch them. A fifteen-minute check 30 days before expiry prevents the repair bill that would arrive right after.
A full physical and functional tour
Run the product once under real load: on a phone, all cameras, speakers and charging; on an appliance, a full cycle; on a laptop, battery health and fan noise. Intermittent, 'it fixed itself' issues are exactly what should go to service now.
Check the battery and wear parts
If wear parts — battery, seals, cables, hinges — are borderline, starting an assessment inside the warranty is far stronger than starting it after. If there's a measurable value (like battery health percentage), take a screenshot.
If you'll claim, write before it ends
A written claim filed within the warranty protects your rights even if the process runs past the end date. If there's a borderline fault, don't assume 'they'll sort it out' — open the ticket before expiry. Set a reminder so you don't miss the date — GARANT does this automatically at 30, 7 and 1 days before.
Frequently asked questions
Is a claim filed on the last day still valid?
Yes — what matters is that the claim was made within the warranty period. A written record (email, service ticket) proves the date.
Should I take it to service even if nothing's wrong?
No need; the checklist is a tour you do yourself. The goal is making hidden problems visible before the clock runs out.
What if I don't know the end date?
Add the warranty length to the receipt date; if the receipt is gone, find the purchase date on your bank statement. Next time, record the date from day one — let an app remember the expiry, not you.
How do I track expiry dates for several products at once without losing track?
Recording every purchase in the same place — an app, a spreadsheet, a calendar — the moment you buy it beats trying to remember dates later. In GARANT each product sits on its own card and triggers separate reminders at 30, 7 and 1 days before expiry, so you don't have to hold the dates in your head.
