All our vehicles are fully checked and we make sure that we supply only vehicles that are mechanically sound and robust. On top of that, if the MOT expires within 3 months, or the service is due, you can be sure that your new vehicle will have a fresh MOT and service. For extra peace of mind, we supply you with a standard warranty on all our vehicles, but we also offer an extended warranty that covers any, literally any VAT garage in the United Kingdom.
Our warranty provider, Warranty First, will provide you with a policy that is designed to offer similar protection to that which the manufacturer would have supplied when the vehicle was new. In effect, you are extending your protection against mechanical or electrical breakdowns and reducing your liability if your car goes wrong.
Why get a warranty?
- Even nearly new cars develop faults - parts and labour are often eye-wateringly expensive; a warranty protects you against unexpected costs.
- Multiple claims covered - there is no limit on the number of claims you can make, as long as the total repairs don't exceed the current market value of your vehicle
- No mileage limit - once your policy starts, there is no restriction on your mileage
- Wear and tear included - wear and tear items (such as wheel bearings) are covered, subject to T&Cs for each plan.
- Consequential damage - if a non-covered part causes damage to a covered part, Warranty First will still honour the claim. Most warranty companies don't cover this
- Huge choice of garages - rather than force you to use garages from a particular network, you can take your vehicle to any VAT-registered garage
- Keeping you on the road - where applicable, Warranty First contributes to car hire, hotel and travel costs
What's included?
