duck2water car insurance quotes and tips for servicing new cars

Apart from getting that all important cheap car insurance quote, the next thing on your mind after you've purchased your new car will be keeping it serviced.

The majority of new car owners take their beloved vehicle back where it came from, and probably pay way over the odds for the pleasure.

Whilst we realise the value of the warranty and full service history, you won't necessarily invalidate the warranty if you take it to a non-franchised garage.

The Office of Fair Trading announced some time ago the lifting of servicing restrictions on new motor vehicles, thus leading to greater choice, improved consumer choice, and development of more effective competition in the car after-sales market.

So, as providers of a great choice of car insurance quotes, we're happy to say you can now have similar choice in your new car servicing. Here are a few tips:

If you decide to stick with manufacturer servicing you are still best to shop around as costs can vary between franchised dealers. You are not obliged to take the car back to where you bought it.
Getting your car serviced at a non-franchised garage will not invalidate your warranty, but you must do your research on local workshops to ascertain certain credentials, not just price.
If you decide to go to an independent garage, it must be VAT-registered; they must use genuine manufacturer parts and fluids. Get receipts and part serial numbers to prove this.
Always stick to the servicing schedule and get the servicing book stamped and updated fully.
Make sure you have read and understood the warranty document thoroughly before you book your car in for servicing.
However, if your car needs a repair or some other warranty work carried out, this must be done at a franchised dealer to keep the warranty valid.
