How the plan works
Your individual plan schedule confirms the level, duration, start and end dates, any customer contribution and labour allowance. Warranty First assesses repair requests at its discretion under the supplied booklet and schedule. The plan is additional to your statutory consumer rights and does not replace or restrict them.
- Follow the servicing requirements in your plan and keep the service and repair invoices.
- For the petrol and diesel plans, the Cars booklet allows no more than 1,000 miles or 30 days beyond a due service, whichever comes first.
- Under that booklet, faults present before the plan began and routine servicing are excluded. An MOT failure or advisory alone does not qualify a repair.
- Use a VAT-registered service provider or repairer and maintain a valid MOT where required.
- Get Warranty First’s authorisation before repair work begins.
- You are responsible for any applicable customer contribution or shortfall beyond the agreed repair payment.
If your car develops a fault
- Report it promptly.
Contact us or Warranty First with your vehicle and plan details. Stop driving if continuing could worsen the fault or affect safety.
- Arrange the requested diagnosis.
Warranty First may ask for a garage report, service records, MOT details, proof of ownership or repair invoices.
- Wait for authorisation.
Do not start repair work until Warranty First has reviewed and agreed the request.
