Car dealership warranty issue

[Emanresu]

Here are examples from the dealers about warranties which are basically insurance policies to cover the cost of rectification if something goes wrong. Basically it's all the insurers fault.

Dealers... higher overheads, posher facilities, tied in customers.

I took my warranty and service out just for piece of mind but I do realise you've got to be careful. I have got a bargain on the servicing as it says two services and two MOT for £350. It's a van and normally would only get one service in 24 months. Works out at £125 a service (MOT £100 total) and the oil filters are averaging at £20, oil is £60 for 5l, and the van takes six.

Not my problem, but if they baulk at it I did ask the salesman and it does specifically say so on the agreement.

What happened to it and what car is it?

Crazy that a dealer hasn't located an issue or have a good idea withing 4 hours diagnostic time

As an aside, £172 an hour is digusting

Well North of £200 ph many premium dealerships.

That's a lot more than we pay for a yearly service and mot

WHich is why I refused the wonderful looking servicing scheme the Honda garage offered me
it was fine if all went well - and slightly cheaper than getting it done at the independent garage I normally use
but if some work needed doing then the hourly charge was MUCH higher

And you can bet your bottom dollar bill there will be extra work required

Yes - I think - possibly totally wrongly - that small local garages are more likely to be honest with customer that have been going there for years

maybe
