Warranty

[lurcherman 887 13,281]

Am I correct doesn’t matter where car is brought if it’s less than 3 years old it goes back to manufacturer to be fixed ?

some do warranty on a time or mileage , so say 3 yrs or 30 thousand miles which ever comes first .. 

It can be an hassle trying to get warranty claims done I know from experience

Be very careful with warranties , you need to read the small print ! ..my Isuzu truck developed a problem with the air con , 3 years old , with less than 27,000 miles on , with a supposed 5 year warranty …only the warranty doesn’t cover the whole car just the drive train , and it doesn’t cover you if your abroad . Isuzu uk are a separate entity as is Isuzu Spain so you can’t get your truck repaired under warranty unless you bought it in the country ..With a whole dash removal to get to a valve I picked up the tab for a £1000 ..so much for Isuzu 5 year warranty .

Back with Toyota ! ..

Not sure about Fords but for a lot of manufacturer warranties the car has to have been regularly serviced by a franchised dealer to stay valid.....they cant force you to but if its not done to the manufacturers schedule using approved parts they can wriggle out if it easily.....that doesnt effect your statutory rights of course which people get confused with any private individual buying from a trader is covered by the consumer rights act

That’s not entirely true mate if you use the manufacturers parts you can take your vehicle to anybody to carry out the service. The manufacturers will let you believe they have to do it.

Exactly,most cant force you to use a main dealer as long as approved parts are used and service schedule is kept up.....i have a motor that not using a main dealer invalidates the warranty as they insist on their own testing equipment being used......you could get any garage to do the diagnostics for instance but because it wont be as in depth as their own ones they insist on a main dealer...but you sign an agreement to it when you buy the car so alls fair.

I just payed for a life time warranty...covers us for how ever long we own it.....any work done has to by an authorised garage/using manufacturers parts and then checked/passed by the main dealer ,they stamp the book if they're happy.

Lots of stuffs not covered so you need to read the small print

Original first owners of mine also had a service package sold to them, I checked before I bought the car that it was transferable, so saved me a few quid.
