Oil Change - Let down by mechanic!!
Not sure what to do in this situation. Obviously due to this cover situation, money is tight. My car needed a minor service but I couldn't afford to go to my usual main dealer. Anyway, as the car is now 4 years old and I intend on keeping it, I decided that a main dealer service wasn't warranted so I decided to use a mobil…

Used car broken

Bought a used car in March from a second hand dealer, had it a couple weeks and the springs went and although it was under warranty, this repair wasn't covered but as it was wear and tear we accepted and just put it down to experience. However yesterday I went to go to work (I am a key…

I'm guessing date of claim would be 26/07/2019? Sounds silly, but important to get insurance details correct than a void and cancellation. Also while I'm…

Where do we register our car if purchasing a few weeks before a move?
Hi, We are buying a second hand car a few weeks before a planned move from London to Cornwall. Do we register the car to our current London address and then do the change over once moved or can we put it all in the new address from the get-go? This has implications on car insurance as I've notice a £130 difference between…

Covid19 - dealer charging extra
Booked my car into a main dealer to have the air con looked at under warranty a few weeks ago. It goes in tomorrow first thing. 5.50 this evening they give me a courtesy call ... but announce a charge of £30 to bomb / clean the ventilation system before they work on it.

What's this that's fallen off the car?
Was driving the missus' car (c4 grande) this morning and found this hanging off the front underside. What is it, and is it important? Will a normal garage be able to fix it or is it a trip to the dealer? Are garages and dealerships even open?

SEAT Common Car Fault - Advice Needed
Hi folks, after a dashboard alert on my SEAT and a visit to a retailer's partner garage, my car now needs a new turbo, which was a great surprise to me, especially the cost of £1600 (warranty ran out in Dec). The thing is, my car has only done 17k miles and the technician said the fault was common for the brand and model.…
