With garages charging up to £200 an hour for labour and major repairs regularly costing motorists thousands of pounds, the time has never been more appropriate to look into the possibility of an extended car warranty.
Did you know?In the first few years of a vehicle's life, covered by a manufacturer's warranty, repairs are often minor adjustments for squeaks, rattles or electrics.
In the later years, after the manufacturer's warranty expires, more expensive repairs become relatively frequent. In fact, 44 per cent of vehicles will suffer a breakdown in their fourth year (most manufacturer's warranties last three!)
