RAC warranty

This site contains affiliate links for which LandyZone may be compensated if you make a purchase.
don’t some of the warrenty companies also specify which certain garages u can go to
I wouldn't be surprised, but for me, during the warranty period I would be go to where I bought the vehicle,
unless I couldn't get there of course, it a necessary evil but going else where would introduce a third party, which isn't good if there was a dispute.

know a mate went to a third party and it turned into a nightmare , where the warrenty companies refused to pay the claim , alas , not sure if they got authorisation though , it know he ended up with a large bill

totally agree with going back to the garage who gave u the warrenty , at least it should cut out all the agro

Good link... as u would expect from the RAC it a very clear and it mentions 'crankshaft' in the engine parts covered.

just seen there max payout per claim

surely that can’t be right if there covering the engine , seeing a recon D3 engine is a min of 5k

the maximum amount payable by Us per claim will be up to £475.00);
 
I had a service and mot roughly a week ago and I’m going to do the RAC warranty tomorrow so I believe everything is covered.. it’s been serviced every year (be it 10,000miles or when the old one come up to date)
 
Wow.. not such a good review, but don’t you find people only write a review when things go bad/get a bad service? Not quite sure what to do now? I’ll have a search about tomorrow.

not trying to throw a spanner in the works so to speak,lol
