Warranty & Lease Safe Servicing

With more and more motorists choosing to either Lease, Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) or Hire Purchase (HP) new cars keeping warranties intact is outlined in most agreements. By using original equipment and manufacture specified parts and consumables including engine oils keeps manufacture warranties intact.

Whether Leased, PCP’d or HP’d it’s entirely the owners choice as to where a vehicle is serviced. Manufacturers are required by law, to offer at least a two-year unlimited mileage warranty on all new cars, regardless of change of ownership – however, car makers in the UK cannot force an owner to have their vehicle serviced by their official dealership network.

Thanks to the European Union Block Exemption legislation (still applicable after brexit) manufacturers cannot refuse to honour a new car warranty simply because a car has been serviced by an independent garage.

Manufacturers still have the right to set a servicing schedule for their vehicles, which must be adhered to. Ben Thompson Autos offers manufacture specified servicing for all vehicle makes and models, using only genuine oe parts and consumables supplied with itemised parts lists, invoice and service book stamp as standard (with VAT registration number for leased vehicles) keeps vehicle warranties intact and lease agreements adhered to.
