I used to have insurance with Kwik Fit and still occasionally receive some of there special offers.
well tonight i got an email about warranty for the car i had insured.
so i took alook round the website and it seems very reasonable with cover starting from £16 a month purly for engine and gear box. it gives you the option of making your own policy up which includes everything from Transmision, air con supension and breaking. i had a play and added a few bits and it came to around £30 a month or £406 a year.
there is a down side in that the wont accept vechicles over 10 years old, so i understand it wouldnt cover a few of the trucks on here but i think its worth a note.. the address is: http://www.warrantydirect.co.uk/

Bunnie, be careful with "extended warranties", most companies have clauses in their policies whereas they only pay between 20%-95% of costs incurred depending on age of item to be covered (ie... if its 2yrs old you'll get 95% of repair costs, 5yrs old you'll get 20%).
moneysupermarket.com suggests "most" extended warranties aint worth the paper theyre written on.

Keep reading the small print until your damn sure you really do understand it [-o<

Not wishing to dampen your bomfire , But--- we did a load of machining on an engine, which had "a warranty", anyhow the main problem was a cylinder had become damaged and needed re-boring to a larger size, But as many of you are well aware you have to do a full engine set,But the warranty company only coughed up 1/4 of the total cost of parts and the punter had to pay the other 3/4 of the bill

 I"m sure they are not all the same, but i havent come across a good one as yet  :-k

yes its got on there how much they will pay for these things. it seems that no matter the age they will pay 100% of labour and then varing levels of parts as the age goes up.

Yer but they will also find a god excuse as to why, "your bit" isn't covered....

Our first Mondeo came with 1 year free warranty from Warranty Direct. When the middle back seatbelt decided to play up, I took it back to the garage. They replaced the seat belt, but I had to pay for the new buckle (ford had changed the design, so it needed a new one). Since it was an improvement made by the manufacturer, they refused to pay for it. The fact that the new seat belt wouldn't fit the buckle didn't count at all. They dug up in saying that it was an improvement that Ford decided to do, and that it had nought to do with their policy.

Really there not worth the paper there written on , i had one years ago when i had my rover 820 i had a head gasket  go and after 3 weeks with no car and lots of phone calls and being told it was not covered they did it ,
also when i had my warranty you HAD to get a full service every 6000 miles and have engine and gearbox oil changed by an approved garage , so that's another £ 100 on top of the cost
i can not remember how much i paid for the warranty but it was something like £200- £300 back in 1995 i am sure i could have paid someone to do it and saved time and money .

Yep only ever had one warranty and NEVER again...... had to have some repairs done and then got stung with a large bill and a ' sorry but general wear and tear isnt covered, and we feel thats the problem'

Small Printing Rip Off Merchants!!
