In our commitment to offering you the best possible deal and protection for your new used car, we've partnered with Autoguard. Autoguard is a trusted name in the industry, known for its comprehensive and reliable warranty services.

Day One Protection

We believe in giving you peace of mind from day one. When you drive off with your newly purchased used car, it is already covered. This immediate protection ensures that you are safeguarded against unexpected issues right from the start.

Standard 12 Months Comprehensive Parts & Labour Warranty

All our cars come with a standard 12 Months warranty that covers both parts and labour. This warranty provides coverage, giving you the assurance that potential repairs are taken care of. There is a £250 per claim limit, ensuring that you have financial protection for each incident.

Option to Upgrade to 12 Months & £1000 Claim Limit

For those seeking extended coverage, we offer the option to upgrade to a 12-month warranty. This upgraded claim limit can be particularly beneficial for those looking for longer-term security and peace of mind.

Additional Benefits for Cars Under 15 Years Old

If your car is under 15 years old, you automatically receive additional benefits. This includes full national breakdown coverage, which encompasses home start, misfuelling protection (including draining and flushing), and emergency key protection. These features are included as standard in the warranty.

Underwritten by Autoguard, Administered by Us

It's important to note that while the warranty is underwritten by Autoguard, the administration is handled by us here at Kirkham Part Exchange Centre. This means you can discuss and customize your warranty options directly with our knowledgeable sales team.
