We carry out high quality vehicle servicing, that now due to block exemption will not invalidate your manufacturers warranty. Previously motorists were required to have their vehicle serviced and repaired at the 'main dealer', so as not to invalidate their warranty. The EC Block Exemption Regulation 1400/2002 (October 2003) allows motorists more flexibility in selecting where they get their vehicle serviced. Thanks to this legislation, maintenance and service work no longer has to be carried out by the' main dealer' providing the garage uses Original Equipment (Matching Quality) parts and that the garage follow the manufacturer's service schedules whilst keeping a record. The Block Exemption Regulation (BER) covers service and maintenance during the warranty period and prohibits vehicle manufacturers’ warranties from including conditions that require: 1/ All normal maintenance be provided within the vehicle manufacturer’s network 2/ All parts used must be the manufacturer’s original spare parts Therefore we can provide customers with savings of up to 60% on their car service and repairs! We also carry out a wide range of vehicle repairs from wiper blades to major engine repairs and everything in between.inc hybrid and electric vehicles
