I take the same view if I buy a stihl new fron london and I was working in cambridge for the week it broke and I take it to the local stihl dealer in cambridge I suspect them to do the warranty work same thong if I bought a new truck from new if it went wrong where ever I was I would be in titled to have it fixed buy the nearest dealer to me

How does that stand legally??

 

 

 

One dealer is like another, I can take my Aston (I wish) to any dealer for warranty work.

 

 

 

If its a warranty issue any dealer should be able to deal with it.

 

 

That's what I thought, until I went into my local dealer with a saw I'd bought somewhere else.

Yes they should be capable... but will they be willing to do so? My view is that a dealer who refuses to carry out warranty work, is cutting their nose off to spite their face.

I agree. But if they wanted to refuse and not have a come-back. Could just say they had too much work on. Fiat dealer in Colchester used to use just such an excuse. But the then manager, was a miserable soul at the best of times.

Here's my take.

What can you save by going further away/online, 50 quid ? Maybe more.

How much can you charge for a days tree surgery.500 quid?

If you buy locally then when you're in a pinch they'll fix it on the spot or give you a loaner to get the job done, and put the bill in.

Go local, it pays in the end.

It bloody doesn't. Spent £4k in three months with my local dealer, one problem with a mower recoil and it's like talking to a brick wall. Incompetent muppets.

 

Now FR Jones get my business, and they still send me the wrong bits :001_rolleyes:
