Clever Claims - Motor Vehicle Warranty
When a friend had expensive car problems just after their warranty expired, we got our car of the same make checked and got $1100 of repairs done while our warranty was still valid.
The Situation
We bought our family car, a Toyota, brand new following a recommendation from a friend. We were fortunate that the friend who had recommended the car had bought the same car just a few months earlier and hit some expensive repair bills just after the warranty expired. This prompted us to have our car checked by the NRMA (National Roads and Motorists' Association - N.S.W Australia), before our warranty expired.
The report found several faults with the car that needed immediate attention. The dealership made all the repairs under warranty, saving us more than a thousand dollars in repair bills.
The Cost Avoided
Cost of a repairs if done at the dealership workshop $1100+
