know your rights as a consumer

Thanks to legislation, all independent garages in the automotive aftermarket repair industry have the right to access technical information necessary to service or repair your vehicle. It is often thought that when you purchase a new vehicle you should only return to the main dealer for required servicing or repairs and it is common misconception that utilising another independent garage will invalidate your warranty, however this is not the case. 

​

Under European legislation, Block Exemption Regulation (BER) No. 1400/2002, renewed in 2010, consumers have the right to use any repair workshop for non warranty work during the warranty period.

​

As an established independent garage we offer skilled labour and diagnostics from skilled industry professionals utilising the industries latest technologies whilst ensuring that all components used are original equipment. 

​

If a vehicle has been acquired using a finance or contract package from a vehicle manufacturer or dealer, then it is possible the contract has restrictions on servicing outside the dealer network. The contract has to be read carefully to ascertain the contract requirements. 

This may also be the case with 'extended warranties' purchased separately - these may be classed as 'insurance policies' and thus not covered under the new rules. As a consumer, it is important to know your rights, please do not allow main dealers to continue to take advantage of motorists with the provision of misinformation, if you are unsure please ask.
