Please see my last post on this thread regarding this company

Air-con compressor has seized on VeeKay

"That'll be Ã‚Â£570 for the new part please. Plus labour of course"

Quick confirmatory phone call to Warrantyworks:-

"Yes, you're covered. Just get the garage to send us the bill

I remember recommending WarrantyWorks on OC many moons ago and the replies were generally negative as with most of the Warranty Companies recommended.
Glad you have had your monies worth out of them, without all the normal problems Paul.

My mileage has put an end to any form of warranties now although the car is only five and a half years old!

Paul I might give you a call later if thats ok as I have spoken to these guys about cover for my car and also I have spoken to them about a club discount. I have only had one chat with them so far so it's early days

air con compressor, absolute pig of a job. (speaking from a KV6 position, not sure if diesel is easier) Removal through drivers side wheel arch with copious amounts of skin

And dont even start to talk about the 10mm securing bolts. always said if i had to do another it would be through the front end removing rad etc.

So that'll be you avoiding the job at the nano then Dave :lol:

That's the advantage of a decent warranty

Hmm, I really do not work for Warrantyworks but I have to recommend them again.

VeeKay was in for the A/C compressor change today and Tony, my garage geezer, found out that owing to the compressor seizing and jamming the belt, the two part crankshaft pulley has become separated at the rubber joint where the two halves are apparently assembled.

Tony just told me this and obviously, I was a little bit hacked off as I really didn't want to be spending money two days before we go on holiday.

However, Tony had already been on to Warrantyworks and they had given authorisation to replace the crankshaft pulley as part of the same job

I asked Tony if they'd kicked off and he told me that the woman at Warrantyworks said "Yes, this happens a lot. I'm not surprised. Go ahead and sort it out for your customer. Authorisation number is..."

So no, they didn't kick off. Quite the reverse

good to hear it went easy for you Paul

We could do with a Warranty, but I doubt anyone will touch us with 158k on the Clock lol

raistlin · Posted 17 Aug 2011, 15:14 #9

Carl, VeeKay has nearly 120K and Warrantyworks have already told me I can have another two years when this policy is up for renewal in January next year. Might be worth asking.

Hi Paul, I went on their Website and entered Car details bt nothing came up under their policies - I will give them a call tomorrow and see

Excellent! :clap:

Well done Warranty works.......

Entered my car details on their site, price quoted Ã‚Â£182.83 for 12 months. How does that compare with yours Paul?

Depends what level of cover they've offered you Mick. It seems about right for what I think they call "Platinum" cover for a year but the two year cover will make a considerable saving

Bermudan 75 · Posted 03 Sep 2011, 20:21 #15

I just entered my car for 2 years with maximum pay out of Ã‚Â£750, with 5% online discount: Ã‚Â£241.93.

In April my alternator packed up, with a full 20k service the bill was Ã‚Â£600.....

raistlin · Posted 05 Oct 2011, 12:18 #16

I am withdrawiing my recommendation with regards to WARRANTYWORKS.

Suffice to say that my dealings with this company are now, via my solicitors, in the hands of the Financial Ombudsman Service.

I'm not going into detail here but there is now no way on this earth that I'd take out a warranty with them.

JohnDotCom · Posted 05 Oct 2011, 14:43 #17

That doesn't sound to good Paul, but thanks for keeping us "updated" and hope you get sorted soon.

Mad-Monkey · Posted 05 Oct 2011, 16:38 #18

Doesn't sound too good Paul, hope you get sorted!

PaulT · Posted 06 Oct 2011, 06:30 #19

They were obviously worried about the enquiries from 75 owners - you cannot get the parts don't you know.

Shame how a company that has provided good service can suddenly change.

Delete the above....... Shame on them............... :roll:

Had similar problem with the AA, a formal complaint and a very long phone conversation with senior management soon made things move forward.

Hope you get it all sorted and not loose out on much Paul. :thumbsup:
