That's what the man at the garage said to do
Can you not do it

The timing belt won't be covered by a warranty as its a service item, unless it snaps then it may be covered by a warranty if you have it done changed at the correct intervals.
Tyres again are a ware and tear item.
Most warranties would probably exclude in car entertainment equipment.
Plus its fraud to take out a insurance for an event that as already happened.0 -

This. If it needs fixing it needs fixing. You can't take out a policy and then claim on it!!!!
Blimey.
Garage sounds well dodgy too as no-one is going to cover replacing a 'wear and tear' item as part of a service.

My car looks like it needs a bit of work
In particular a new DVD screen (£550)
A timing belt (£365). 4 new tyres. And I was
Wondering wether it's worth taking out a
Used car warranty and then claiming
For the work. Can you do this. ?

No, used car warranties don't cover wear and tear and most don't cover electrical faults either. They normally only cover things that never go wrong.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Can you imagine taking out a used car warranty an then two days later claiming for all these items?! I think the warranty company would look into it.The man without a signature.0

I think I might go to a new garage. And get new quotes
Turns out the Warranty is through this garage too
Dodgy all round I think
Didn't even think of the fraud aspect
And obviously I would never defraud anyone..0 -
