So what did they find? TomTom’s research found that the county of Kent, the garden of England in the south east of the UK, is packed full of more romantically-named streets than anywhere else, with 15.6 miles worth of such streets. London by comparison has just a bit less, with 14 miles’ worth. The counties of Essex, Cornwall, Suffolk, Lancashire (7 miles), Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Surrey and Hampshire also contain quite a lot of lovey street names.

The research team set to work by TomTom searched for words like Darling, Rose, Love, Heart, Sweet and Valentine, and discovered than in Britain, Love Lane accounts for over 20 miles of streets/roads, so comes first in their survey of romantic street names. Rose Lane, Rose Hill and Rose Street are close behind, in the top 5, followed by Lovers Lane and Valentine Road.

If you’re planning on buying a last minute gift for the one you love, perhaps a used car warranty isn’t the most romantic gesture that comes to mind. But then you would be buying them something that will safeguard their car against mechanical/electrical parts breakdown/failure, giving them added peace of mind whilst motoring throughout the next 12 months. So it’s worth a thought! But whatever you buy as a gift, whatever meal you have and wherever you go this Valentine’s Day, we wish you a happy one!

Car dealers have a duty to offer their customers the highest level of car warranty cover, in order to protect them and their cars from unexpected mechanical failures and breakdowns, and also to protect the reputation of the dealer themselves.

This is why it makes sense to team up with Warrantywise, as in many instances, the levels of cover provided by our warranties are even better and more comprehensive than manufacturers’ own extended warranty schemes. Should you as a car dealer find a better warranty package cheaper, Warrantywise is able to match any like for like price.

Warrantywise is uniquely the only warranty company in the UK to cover all makes and models of cars, even including imports, up to 13 years old and up to 130,000 miles. You can offer your car purchasing customers a choice of an extended used car warranty scheme which lasts as little as 3 months or as long as 36 months, for that real peace of mind.

Our extended car warranties are also individual and leading in that customers will have no contribution to pay, won’t be penalised by a betterment clause if their engine, gearbox or other part adds value to their car, there are no mileage restrictions and we include cover for premature wear & tear as standard. They can also choose to upgrade their car warranty to include and cover airbags, catalytic converters, main dealer labour rates up to £200 per hour and multimedia systems like sat nav and touchscreen audio/DVD systems.

And what’s more, our products are positioned as service and maintenance warranty plans, so come outside the remit of the FSA. This means there are no FSA exams or inspections. And our warranty prices are inclusive of VAT, keeping things simple and financially efficient for you as a second hand used car dealer.

Well-known car dealers such as Sytner, Tom Hartley, Graypaul Ferrari, Maranello, The Car Shop and many others trust Warrantywise and so can you. Come direct to Warrantywise’s friendly Lancashire-based team today for advice on how we can help you give your customers peace of mind.

Oliver who writes our blog articles and manages Twitter, is a huge fan of 4×4 SUVs so was interested in seeing what car warranty claims we have recently authorised on behalf of our customers in the last few months, resulting in a repair being made at a main dealer or independent Audi specialist garage chosen by the customer. Here are the Audi Q7 claims/failures we accepted and settled:

Audi Q7 Inlet Manifold £1105.00
Audi Q7 Inlet Manifold £60.00
Audi Q7 Throttle Body £406.87
Audi Q7 Throttle Body £391.87
Audi Q7 Catalyst or DPF £429.87
Audi Q7 Inlet Manifold £769.61
Audi Q7 Fuel Accumulator £682.14
Audi Q7 Air Conditioning £441.60
Audi Q7 Inlet Manifold £548.81
Audi Q7 Electrical (major) £1072.50
Audi Q7 Spring (suspension) £148.16
Audi Q7 Electrical Fault £776.82
Audi Q7 Inlet Manifold £1137.64

It’s immediately noticeable that inlet manifold failures or problems accounted for 5 of the 13 Audi Q7 warranty claims we’ve paid out on, so inlet manifold issues must be fairly common on Q7s, at least as far as our own data is concerned.

The throttle body in the Audi Q7 also accounted for 2 of the 13 claims, and electrical faults also contributed, with one major electrical fault/issue costing £1,072.50 to repair and another lesser electrical fault costing £776.82 to sort.

With its large alloy wheels and oodles of technology and kit, the Audi Q7 SUV 4×4 won’t be cheap to repair when it comes to the majority of issues, so it’s definitely worth having your Q7 protected by an extended second hand used car warranty from us, if your original manufacturer’s Audi car warranty has expired. For the best price and solid advice, come direct to Warrantywise and our UK-based call centre staff will be pleased to help!

It was back in Spring 2010 when Aston Martin V12 Zagato prototype images starting getting banded around and a year later in the Spring of 2011, the concept cars were finished, with May 2011 witnessing the world debut of the V12 Zagato at the Villa d’Este concours, in the Concept Cars and Prototypes class, where it ran away with the coveted first prize! Most impressively, both V12 Zagato cars completed the 24 hour endurance race at the Nürburgring.
Prospective V12 Zagato buyers started queuing up at the proverbial door, so Aston decided to produce a very limited run of 150, built at the firm’s HQ in Gaydon, Warwickshire. No mean feat, as each V12 Zagato apparently takes 2,000 hours to build! If you want to buy one, you’ll need to scrape together a mere £330,000, but with such high demand, it’s doubtful you’ll be able to secure one for delivery in Autumn 2012.

If you own an Aston Martin which is no more than 10 years old and has covered no more than 100,000 miles, Warrantywise of Lancashire, represented by ex-Top Gear Quentin Willson, can provide an extended used car warranty to help you protect your cherished Aston. Our mechanical and electrical extended warranties packages really are cutting edge, putting the customer first. If your Aston needs a new engine, gearbox or some other large component or repair, which adds value to the car, we don’t penalise you, whereas some other car warranty companies do. We also believe that ours is the best car warranty because we cover consequential damage, replace various parts in pairs out of good safety and engineering practice, and we can cover sat nav, air con, air bags and so much more, including main dealer garage mechanic repair rates up to £200/hour.

In the last few months alone, Warranty Wise have paid out on car warranty claims for Aston Martin DB7, DB9, Vantage, Volante and Vanquish models. Contact us today for a quote to compare our car warranty, for that all-important peace of mind.

In the Chrysler TV advert you will see a new 300C, the Grand Voyager people carrier MPV, the Delta hatchback and the Ypsilon, which is the new Chrysler supermini, which is actually a Lancia, but sold as a Chrysler in the UK. Chrysler’s new TV advert starts off in Detroit, “Motor City”, where much US car building history stems from. As the 300C emerges from the tunnel, it’s suddenly in London, showing the firm’s arrival here with their new branding.

Chrysler is proud to be different as a brand, in their approach and in the design of their cars. The new commercials really focus on this. They have been hugely successful in their homeland of America and aim to now conquer Britain. Of course, their Grand Voyager already featured in the Alan Sugar Apprentice series and is a household favourite for many large families, and the 300C has become a hit for people who want a huge, imposing, almost Bentley-like saloon, at a much cheaper price. And just think of the wacky design of the PT Cruiser with its old-fashioned image. Loads of people loved this car, and the same can be said for the sport-looking Crossfire coupe and convertible. Certainly very different cars!

If you have bought a second hand Chrysler from the used car market in the UK, perhaps from AutoTrader, a private seller, Gumtree or even eBay auctions, you can come to Warranty Wise in the knowledge that we can help when it comes to an extended mechanical and electrical warranty for your Chrysler. In the last few months alone we have paid out on warranty claims made by our customers for Chrysler cars including:

300C Turbo Charger £595.00

300 C Automatic Gearbox £885.76

Chrysler Crossfire Engine £1960.54

Grand Voyager Electrical Fault £401.75

Crossfire Steering Pump £534.44

Chrysler Neon Head Gasket £274.89

PT Cruiser Wheel Bearing £503.42

Voyager Air Conditioning Compressor £552.75

Voyager MPV clutch £278.18

The Isuzu Rodeo is proving a hit in the UK market, owing to its square, rugged, invincible styling and Isuzu’s reputation for off-road ability. Pricing for the Rodeo 4×4 is surprisingly affordable, starting at just £13,995 and going up to £23,495 for the top of the range 3 litre diesel, 5-seat model called the Denver Max LE Auto.

But what if you’ve been eyeing up, or already own, an Isuzu Trooper or another kind of Isuzu car or off-road 4×4 vehicle, when it comes to extended mechanical and electrical warranties? Where can you find the best car warranty? Well Warrantywise is a great place to start. Based in Lancashire and proudly fronted by Quentin Willson off the telly, we provide leading extended vehicle warranties, available for all makes and models of standard UK cars, with up to 100,000 miles and up to 10 years in age.

It’s true that we don’t provide loads and loads of warranties for Isuzu vehicles, but this is simply because they’re not that common in the UK. But you still see a few Isuzu Trooper and Rodeo models out there. In the last few months, we have paid out on warranty claims for Isuzu vehicles including:

Trooper – Engine Repair – £1,000

Trooper – Starter Motor – £316.41

Trooper – Gearbox Selector – £1,425.50

So you can see that Isuzu warranty claims on average aren’t cheap. It therefore makes sense to have a decent warranty in place – one worth the paper it’s written on, which doesn’t penalise you for betterment, can cover MoT Failure, main dealer labour rates and so much more. That’ll be Warrantywise!
