“What is a warranty? An extended or used warranty is like a safety net, it’s a contract that offers protection to car owners by covering certain repairs and associated services for a specific period of time or mileage.”
“Basically if something goes wrong with your car due to mechanical issues or defects a warranty steps in to help. It pays for the cost of fixing or replacing the faulty parts as long as they meet the terms and conditions of the warranty. Warranties can vary in terms of duration, coverage limits and what they exclude.”
“They can be offered by your car dealer when you purchase a used car or purchased directly from Warrantywise.”

The Oxford English Dictionary defines ‘Mechanical’ as: (1) relating to or operated by a machine or machinery. (2) relating to physical forces or motion. This basically means it has to be a part that moves, is moved and/or is acted upon by something else that makes it do that motion. NB: There are some items listed under our Additions that we will never pay for under the warranty.

We always recommend using one of our Approved Repairers. These repair facilities undergo careful monitoring to guarantee the best workmanship and service quality. However, we understand that you may have a preferred garage in mind. If that’s the case, please ensure they are VAT registered and follow our provided ‘Repairs Procedure’ outlined in your warranty plan booklet. It’s also crucial to verify that their labour rate aligns with your warranty schedule.
