Following on from the information link to independent specialists offering warranties, here:
http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

I wanted to get your opinions on indy's offering warranties from "WMS".

JZM offer something very similar to Northway (not sure who JZM's underwriter is), and Northway use WMS:
http://www.car-warranty-uk.com/products/car-warran...

Northway policy is the 4*:

4* warranty cover – applies to cars and light commercial vehicles which are up to 10 years old and have not exceeded 100,000 miles at the inception date. Cover includes the breakdown of certain components under the following headings: Engine, Manual and Automatic Gearbox, Timing Belts (providing that there is proof that the manufacturers’ replacement recommendations have been complied with and they are free from oil contamination), Turbo, Front/Rear Drive System, Brakes, Steering, Cooling System, Propshaft, Fuel system, Front/Rear Suspension, Wheel Bearings, Clutch, Electrical, Casings.

Cover is for parts and labour, any claim can be upto £5000, as many times as possible, upto the value of the car.
The relationship between WMS and the well respected Northway means they rarely quibble over wear and tear / breakage. As above they have set out what are the consumables.
Cost is £425 pa for the Gold Warranty.

This seems rather good value!! Has anyone experienced dealing with Northway and/or WMS in the past?
Peter Morgan rates Northway as one of the top indy's in the country...

Thanks.

Why not WMS?
Northway, Indy specialist, have a really good relationship with them, and that counts. So want to know of people who have used both these co's together?

Autoprotect, previous thread here, hardly ringing endorsements, but as it says in there, depends on the dealer too:
