warranties

With all the talk of the demise of Service+ (all service contracts now seem to have dissapeared from the MB site) I thought that I would start a new thread on the subject of warranties outside the franchised network/s. This morning I had a quick look at this company. My SLK 280 came it at...

After phoning around it would appear that MB have stopped providing Service warranties on AMG vehicles since around 4 months ago. This may have already been covered on this forum but I think that it doesn't say much for MB. I can only assume that it has been costing them too much to honour these...

I have purchased BMWs within the 3 year warranty period and the warranty is passed on to the new owner and can then be extended by him/her for several years. E.G. my BMW Series 3 convertible warranty I stretched for 7 years until I sold it at 85K miles. Is the same possible on M-Bs. I've seen...

An advert in todays Daily Mail (no jokes please) on page 53, reads..... "Car Warranty Expired?"........etc....etc..... Basically its an extended warranty policy. Just punched in my details for my car (2004 C200K SE - under 30k miles/year) and I got quoted £254 for a years policy. Seems...

To me, Signature Warranties have been one of the great things about owning a Mercedes.. a good manufacturer backed warranty that can be extended for 10yrs. However, my CL has just turned 3yrs and after much haggling and fighting with Merc HQ just to even talk to me about an extended warranty...

I have been looking at an extended warranty for a R129 (partly prompted by some of the horror stories I hear) Warranty Works has quoted £422 for a 2 year warranty with a ceiling of £500 per claim though there is no limit on the number of claims that can be made in the 2 years. Has anyone used...

I own a 2003 C220cdi, and my wife is on her second A Class. My car has covered 100,000 miles, and at the end of my 120,000 mile contract which runs out on the 9th May, I will probably have covered c. 110,000 miles. At various times during the life of the car (same supplying/servicing dealer...

Hi all! Just bought a 99 320SL and was wondering if anyone could recommend a decent warranty? I've taken a look at the RAC but it seems they don't cover my car due to engine size and not sure what else is available. Also looking for someone to maintain the car in or around London, so...

If I get someone other than an MB dealer to replace a windscreen (2003 W203) will it invalidate the warranty? On a slightly different tack, will it be evident to anyone that it has been changed? Don't particularly want to ask the dealer this question!! If, I need MB to do the work...

does anybody know if MB offers warranty extensions or are their any good third party warranty companies about. Mine runs out in summer and toying with trading in, its always reassuring to have the warranty umbrella in case anything goes nasty. Had a blown engine on an A4 3 weeks out of...

Hi, What is the general opinion of warranties? I have been looking through the forum and the name Warrantydirect has come up a few times. Is it worth getting a warranty (I am looking at buying a mid '90s SL280/320), what sort of things are covered and what aren't? I have heard that roof...

Now that I have my car back after roof problems I'm thinking about getting a warranty. Mercedes Signature warranty is £500 :eek: Third parties, for example, WarrantyDirect Gold, cost around £250. I've heard some of these warranties ain't worth the paper they're written on. Anyone got...
