Warranty Direct

[philroach]

Just got a quote from these guys , very friendly , apparently they have a new underwriter who will cover our cars
£775 incl tax etc per year , for prestige and performance extra care policy , which seems pretty comprehensive
I think they also include emissions and airbag cover , and wear and tear after a 90 day period , all subject to a prior inspection .
Any of you guys got the same policy?
any comments or things I should be asking about?
Cheers
Phil

Yeah, got the same policy and have been with them for 2 years. They will wriggle to avoid paying, but dont they all. They have been good to me with drc swap for coilovers and some other bits and bobs but they have let me down on oil leaks. They wont cover them unless it requires the removal of the engine or gearbox. Just be carefull when wording the details of any claims you make, they are very specific as to whats covered and whats not and they always lean toward whats not covered. I know there are very few good warranties out there, with Audi being the only real world package you can rely on (if you can stomach the £2.5+ tag) but on the whole i think WD is worth a look when all you have to compare is Warrantywise and a couple of others.

I would also be interested in the replys as that is something i will seriously look into getting when i get my 1st RS6.It does sound good though but don't they all

[kaisersolsay]

I'm with them and so far so good!

[HYFR]

iv just took out with them ... it covers alternator which is bound to go soon, and should cover the gearbox ... they're the main things im bothered about

[ecain63]

+1 on that dk.

[philroach]

did you get any extras thrown in, conditions taken out , or discounts etc ? or does the price seem to be right , plus 60 quid for inspection

[HYFR]

yeah £60 for inspection, includes emission and airbag, excludes air con and suspension

[HYFR]

im on the secure care as my beast is over 100k ... it covers it upto 130k ... £750

[philroach]

seems like the way to go then

I did alot of research and went with them in the end, got a contact guy there who was very helpful
£750 for the prestige cover, emmisions and entertainment FOC
£50 so I don't have to pay toward the parts

£50 excess on the claim

Car currently in At Russell Automotives with a failed Alternator so I will touch base again if they cover it, they were asking alot of questions today to the garage.

On the Flip side I have delt with warrantywise and would never purchase there Warranty they are Crap.

Many a dealing and it always ends in tears for the owner

[vikingrs6]

Anyone got a good contact name?..

They would not renew or pay a claim for a thermostat or leaking rocker covers. Got fed up with hours on phone, letters and inspectors not turning up.

[ecain63]

Did you have the extra care or secure care policy ringo? Im suprised they wouldnt pay out for the rocker or thermostat.

The top one usually only on younger cars
