Warranty

Our standard 3-month dealer warranty is included free with every vehicle purchase and provides basic coverage for manufacturing and mechanical faults.

Our extended warranty options (called Crystal Clear Warranty) offer significantly more comprehensive protection, including:

• 12-month extended warranty - Full parts, labour, and VAT coverage for one year
• 24-month extended warranty - Maximum protection for two years
• Coverage for unexpected faults and failures that occur during normal use
• Nationwide repair network across the UK
• Dedicated claims advisors for fast authorisation
• Interest-free payment option (spread over 4 months)

For ultimate peace of mind, ask about our Premium Package, which includes:

• 3-year comprehensive warranty
• 3-year servicing plan
• Paint protection treatment
• One complete package protecting your investment

Our extended warranty covers the full cost of parts, labour, and VAT for repairs to mechanical and electrical components that fail during the warranty period. This means when something goes wrong with your car's engine, gearbox, steering, braking system, or electrical systems, you're protected from expensive repair bills. 

The warranty is designed to cover unexpected faults and failures - not routine maintenance or wear-and-tear items like tyres and brake pads. Our claims advisor will guide you through exactly what's covered when you purchase your warranty.

While we'd love to help you at our Upminster workshop (especially if you have our servicing plan), our extended warranty provides access to a nationwide network of trusted, approved service centres. 

This means whether you're at home in Essex, on the M25, or anywhere else in the UK when a problem occurs, there's a garage local to you that can handle your warranty claim. We recognise that your car is essential for getting to work or the school run, so we've made sure you're covered wherever you are.

Extended warranty costs vary depending on your vehicle's make, model, age, mileage, and the level of coverage you choose (12 or 24 months).

We offer interest-free payment plans where you can spread the cost over 4 months, making it much more affordable. Contact our team for a specific quote based on your vehicle - call us on 01708 863247.

Yes, you can typically purchase an extended warranty after buying your car from LMC, though it's usually most cost-effective to add it at the time of purchase. If you've already bought your vehicle and are still within the 3-month standard warranty period, contact our team to discuss extending your coverage before it expires. The sooner you arrange extended cover, the more comprehensive your protection will be, so don't wait until something goes wrong!

Yes, we are! LMC is an AA Approved Dealer, which means we meet strict standards for quality and customer service. As part of this approval, the AA provides a free history check on every vehicle we sell. You can also arrange for any vehicle to be independently inspected by the AA or another third party before purchase, giving you complete confidence in your decision. 

This independent backing means you're not just taking our word for it - you have third-party verification of our quality standards.

Absolutely! In fact, adding warranty cover to your finance agreement is a smart move because it protects your investment while you're still paying for the car. We can include the warranty cost in your finance package, and we even offer zero deposit finance on any vehicle. 

This means you can drive away with comprehensive cover without a large upfront payment - just one manageable monthly payment that includes both your car and warranty. Our finance experts can explain all your options.
