Why have a warranty?

Buying a car is most people’s second biggest purchase after their house. Even though cars are nowadays more reliable, they include an increasing number of electronic and mechanical components and, if these fail, it can be a real shock to discover how much they cost to put right.

If your car breaks down due to mechanical or electronic failure of parts covered, the warranty will cover the costs of replacement parts and labour. To further complement our positive buying experience and give further peace of mind to our customers, Carsite has teamed up with Warranty Direct (the industry’s leading provider of direct consumer warranties) to administer our ‘Diamond Cover’ warranty*, which offers comprehensive cover at really affordable and competitive prices.

*The ‘Diamond Cover’ product is only available for vehicles that are less than five years old and which have completed less than 60,000 miles at the point of sale.
