Repair guidance

Why wasn’t my repair authorised?

A repair request may not be authorised if the diagnosed issue, affected component or circumstances do not meet the terms of your plan. The questions below explain some of the factors that can affect a repair decision.

7 questions in this topic

A repair request may not be authorised if the diagnosed issue, affected component or circumstances do not meet the plan agreement. This can include not maintaining routine servicing, not using your vehicle as agreed, or the requested part is not listed in the plan.

Still need help?

If servicing is overdue, cannot be evidenced or was not completed correctly, this may affect the outcome – particularly where a lack of maintenance may have contributed to the problem.

Still need help?

Exclusions explain the components, failures, circumstances and costs that a plan does not include.

If the garage’s diagnosis shows that a repair falls within an exclusion, or the vehicle has not been used or maintained as per the plan, we may not authorise the repair request.

Still need help?

Wear and tear refers to the gradual deterioration of vehicle parts through normal use.

Worn-out parts that have reached the end of their expected life due to age and mileage are not included in Warrantywise plans, and the garage’s diagnostic information will help us to assess these parts.

Still need help?

Yes – continuing to drive after a problem develops can make the damage worse.

Stop driving as soon as it is safe and contact us for guidance. If continued driving increases the damage, we may limit our consideration to the reasonable repair cost that would have applied if the vehicle had been stopped sooner.

Still need help?

We’re unable to consider a breakdown or premature failure that occurred, was likely to have occurred, or was already developing before your warranty started. The same applies to an addition to your warranty if the issue occurred or was developing before that addition started.

Still need help?

You can contact us if you are unhappy with a repair decision.

If you have supporting information that was not available when the decision was made, you can send it to us for review.

We must receive your request and any supporting information within 14 days of the repair request being declined.

Price Promise

Our Price Promise applies to any plan level you have been quoted for, where the plan level is identical (“like-for-like”). If a like-for-like comparison cannot be made, we will issue a bespoke quotation based on your needs, which we guarantee will be the most competitive price and plan we offer at that time.

To activate our Price Promise, proof of an active comparative quote (dated within the previous 30 days) is required. We do not match exclusive or restricted discounts (e.g., student, NHS, blue-light). Warrantywise reserves the right to refuse a price match where fraud or unauthorised reseller activity is suspected.

All warranty plans are governed by the details set out within the warranty plan documents. Warrantywise reserves the right to change or withdraw the ‘Price Promise’ without notice. Please contact our warranty specialists to activate the ‘Price Promise’.
