​

Can you fix my car if I have an extended third-party warranty?

We get several enquiries a week from customers with extended third-party warranty policies - and help many to successfully claim on these policies.    We work with some great companies who ensure the policies are administered quickly and without fuss, however, some are difficult to work with and are excessive with the administration process/authorisation timescales.  Customers often do not fully understand their policies and can be disappointed if their claim is declined or not paid in full.  For instance, diagnosis/investigation is required, most policies require the customer to authorise the costs and don't always reimburse this. There are various terms and conditions which can have an effect on the outcome of a claim.

Many garages refuse to work on vehicles with a third-party extended warranty policy due to the additional excessive administration and issues it can cause.  We want our customers to be aware of the pros and cons of using a warranty.  We want the process to be simple and seamless, but we are working with other companies who have their own policies and procedures. 

Before we can agree to work on your vehicle, you will need to accept our information and our policy regarding third-party warranty policies - please click this link for further information

​

Can I buy my own parts and you fit them?

We do not fit parts (new or old) provided by customers.  We use carefully selected, reputable suppliers to ensure that if there was an issue with a product - we can be confident of a fast and hassle-free warranty exchange.  

There are a number of poor quality and counterfeit parts on websites and online auctions which can cause huge problems if they are poor quality and even lead to very dangerous situations.

We have to be able to provide you with a warranty in line with the law and ensure the work we do is insured.

In certain circumstances and on older vehicles, we know that parts aren't always on the shelf or economically viable. In such cases, we can advise you on your best options.

​

Dash Camera Policy

Any vehicle entering our Workshop will have the dash camera disconnected for security and privacy of staff in the workshop.  

We do reconnect the dash camera during road tests.

​

Modified Vehicles

We cannot honour our normal warranty on parts where the vehicle has been modified in any way from the original manufacturer's specification. This includes remaps, performance tuning boxes, intakes, exhausts, intercoolers, suspension, braking systems etc.
