Manufacturer Warranties
When you buy a car new it will usually come with a warranty. Each manufacturer will have a different level of warranty and cover different aspects of the car. Some parts will be covered for free under your warranty. Read your policy wording which you should have received when you bought the vehicle to find out more.
Popular & Imported Car Warranties
Most car warranty providers exclude vehicles which have been imported from the US or Asia. Models that are widely available in the UK such as a Toyota Yaris can easily be covered by a warranty however it maybe more difficult to obtain a warranty for a Toyota Supra. Our guide will direct you through to manufacturers own warranty programmes.
