I'm always wary of up selling a product which you can't rely on, and extended warranties fall into that category for me. That said, I'm with WMS and they are pretty good, for example they have just paid out for two coil springs in the last few months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Spark How much do WMS charge for a 6 month warranty, or even the 12 month. I give 3 months warranty as standard stand by me via 3rd party self cert warranty but want to look at 6-12 month for an upsell or to give away as a close for customer looking for longer cover Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think 6 months is £120 so not really worth bothering with IMO. The rep I use and have used for a long time within the industry is a chap called Adrian who like you is based in leafy cheshire I've know him for a long time and he is spot on. Maybe more importantly, so are WMS. That's not to say I've had disagreements but they are certainly the best I've come across by a long way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I offer my own 3 month warranty but i do not want to commit to 6 months term, I know my responsibility under CRA but I could not stomach the customer coming at me at 5 months and 29 days with a shopping list of issues he/she has cause. I think 3 months is reasonable and after that I just use common sense, But If someone wants a longer warranty I think sticking on a 3rd party warranty is the only option for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
