WARNING - DO NOT USE PRIVATEVEHICLEWARRANTY.CO.UK - WE USED THEM FOR A WARRANTY AND THEN WE WENT TO MAKE A CLAIM AND IT TURNED OUT THAT THE WARRANTY WAS USELESS AS MIKE WOOLLEY WHO RUNS THE PRIVATEVEHICLEWARRANTY.CO.UK WEBSITE KEEPS THE MONIES FOR HIMSELF. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE POLICE.

just spoke to the AA about providing a warranty as I'm looking to guard against reliability the best I can. Their cover is actually really quite good and covers almost everything in the car (apart from wear and tear of course) Only problem is they wont supply a warranty on any TVR car. NICE!!!! Trying RAC this afternoon.


I took out the £1000 AA warranty last November, the cars currently at Power having a clutch which I'm hopeing to claim for.

Perhaps they've took to many hits (mine's been recovered twice already )

Try AA Parts and Labour plus - covers £1000 of reparis and loan car etc. but only if the part fails whilst you're out driving. From memmory it costs about £100pa on top of your AA membership.

They.ve stopped doing the £1000 limit one. I was upgrading from the £500 limit, but said its no longer avalable.

Anyone had any dealings with "warranty works" - they will cover my Cerbera on a three year policy, with a max of £2500 per claim, for a single premiuim of just over £1000. I've checked out as much as I can on the internet - now asking you all if any negative feedback known?

I've just bought one two weeks ago from the AA.

£99/annum for £1000 claim and three claims/year. With the balance of my breakdown cover, it cost me £25 until renewal.

I have one with 'Auto Protect' - never heard them mentioned on here before..... supplied with the car.

Just had to have new suspension and brakes...here's hoping (Springs should be covered - and one was knackered!). I wont hold my breath - i will probably die!

anyone with any experience

What you claiming for...if you dont mind me asking...

Does any one else think like me - "hope somet goes in last few months of warranty"

Had a diode fail in the unit, which means the blower fans don't come on, at all!, not much good in this weather, once the screen mists up, I have no way of clearing it, even a cloth is useless!

Nope...not good at all.

Should be ok with that one i think - surely they cant come back with the old 'wear and tear' story.

Me on the other hand will be struggling!

worth a shot though.

Stopped it first of Feb. Not sure whether they are reintroducing it though. Hope so.

That's lucky (or is that another insurance company?), I bought mine on the 31st Jan.
