Please read though the following terms and conditions to make yourself aware of what we require you to do in the unlikely event that you have may have problems with your vehicle after the original purchase.

All cars that are sold to the public, not to trade, will be supplied with a Minimum of 6-month Dealer Backed Customer Protect Warranty.
We advise you to upgrade this policy to a high-quality Dealer Backed Customer Protect Warranty, as this will cover most unforeseen issues that might arise after purchase.
If you have an issue with your vehicle your first port of call with any mechanical/electrical faults will be to the warranty company who advise you how you can get the vehicle inspected/repaired locally to you. Please do not have any works done prior to contacting the warranty company.
If you wish not to upgrade your policy and you suffer a mechanical/electrical breakdown that is not covered by your 6-month Dealer Backed Customer Protect Warranty. then your options are greatly reduced. As with all retail purchases you are covered by the “Sale of Goods Act”. However, this basically states that the vehicle/product must be of “merchantable quality” at the point of sale. Any faults that arise after purchase that can be proved not to have been there at the point of sale will not be covered by us. Therefore, Dealer Backed Customer Protect Warranty's are there to cover these eventualities for your benefit.

We do not have a collection/ delivery service available for breakdown or recovery. We would advise all our customers to subscribe to a recovery company that can provide this service. We can offer 12 months free basic breakdown cover through the AA please ask for more details on how to register or this.
