Jimbo:
The main dealer I used, suddenly put a limit of 25 miles per day on their loan cars - not much use to me when the garage is 22 miles from home  :shock: .

When I got a couple of things sorted just before the warranty expired, I waited in the showroom with mans best friend - having walked the mutt (English Springer) in a particularly wet/muddy field beforehand......never got such good and speedy service. At one point, I was looking over a D3 and got the sales guy to hold the dogs lead whilst I sat in the drivers seat - they wouldn't let the dog check out the back seat though  :twisted:

The last time I took the Fabia into the dealer, I got a godawful £-Cylinder for the day.
I think I did less than 20miles including there & back.

Warranty doesnt cover the cost of a replacement vehicle

But the sale of goods and services act 1974 does.

Insurance can depend on what your car is in for, when my current Micra got crashed the courtesy car was on my insurance only because of the business use, it was an insurance reapair, when it got stuck in the dealers for a month and a half with a gearbox problem, it had to be on mine.

Hers'a a good one, when the Rangie went in for an "assesment" they said I might get a courtesy car, but it would be a Pug 2-oh-something.  I said "my dogs won't like that" he said "you can't take your dogs in it"

Apparently if you get dog hairs in their car they charge you £65 for a full valet.  Should have seen his face when I mentioned towing the Capri back with it :lol:

A lot of insurance courtesy cars belong to the approved repairer, not the insurance, it's one of the criterion for being the approved garage (above the ability to actualy repair the car I think).

Luck of the draw :roll:

That bold statement needs some form of explanation :?:

Sale of goods act 1979 says:-


--- Quote ---For up to six years after purchase (five years from discovery in Scotland) purchasers can demand damages (which a court would equate to the cost of a repair or replacement).
--- End quote ---



Damages such as loss of earnings/travel costs etc are uninsured by manufacturers or dealers warranty.

C/Cars on warranty arent a sure thing, same as for servicing. The only sure ones are when your car is in for Bodywork and your insurance guarantees a c/car. The problem then is that the c/car is only guaranteed if your car is taken to their approved repairer. Not always the best bodyshop in town...!!!...!!!...!!!!!. If you want it to go to your own trusted repair shop, they wave goodbye to your c/car.

Its always a lot easier to be nice/pleasant tho, theres more chance of a c/car or a lift home etc . As soon as someone qoutes 'sale of goods act' they tend to get the bare minimum of service.
