Length of time body repairs

[Stormbitch]

Is it 3 years from the date of repair that the warranty is undertaken?

[Stormbitch]

Nobody?

I don't think anyone understands your question. I certainly don't.

[Conniff]

I don't either, can you rephrase that ?

I think the OP is referring to their previous thread.

 

No, warranty/guarantee starts from date of delivery, not necessarily date of sale but depends on circumstances.

Hello thanks and I am sorry.

 

I have had some work carried out by a body repair garage, I recall them and the insurance company saying to me that accident repairs are normally covered for three years as standard. In other words I understand that work carried out for an insurance company is always offered three years.

 

The paint on my car was a shoddy job and 16 months after the body repair an assessor told me that the job was shoddy in his report.

 

I am just checking that I do still have rights against the garage even though the repair was very late 2012.

 

The insurance company agreed to instruct an assessor in May 2014. So this does help me assume that the three year rule is around reasonable.

 

I just dont want to send a nice "settlement" offer to the garage for them to say "oral contract mate, not worth the paper its printed on"
