What are the benefits of a free tyre check?
Good tyre maintenance is vital to ensure safety on the road and optimum performance of your vehicle.
Worn, under-inflated, or the wrong type of tyres on your vehicle can lead to increased fuel consumption. Stay safe, reduce your costs and keep your tyres in peak performance with our help.
For every tyre that's worn below the 1.6mm length limit, there's a potential £2,500 fine and three penalty points. With four worn tyres, you could lose your licence.
What is a seasonal check?
A Vertu Motors seasonal check ensures your car is ready to take on the elements, no matter the weather.
Intense summer heat and chilly winter temperatures can affect your vehicle's performance in different ways.
That's why our manufacturer accredited technicians carry out a detailed examination of your car to fix or prevent any weather-related issues.
What is a warranty and what does it mean for your car?
A manufacturer's warranty comes as standard with all new vehicles and used vehicles.
What is covered by the warranty is dependent on individual manufacturers, so always make sure to check your vehicle handbook or with the manufacturer for any exclusions.
It covers the cost of any confirmed warranty defects but excludes wear and tear items and replacements, including servicing maintenance.
You can also choose to purchase a Motor Assured Warranty which is an extended dealer guarantee.
If you are buying an approved used vehicle through a manufacturer programme, you will receive an approved used warranty.
To get the maximum protection from you warranty, you need to service your vehicle in accordance with the manufacturer's schedule. You can risk invalidating the warranty if you don't.
Does a manufacturer's warranty cover servicing?
Your warranty doesn't cover the cost of regular servicing, only the cost of any confirmed warranty defects.
However, with a Vertu Motors Priority Service Plan, you can spread the cost of servicing for three years with manageable, interest-free monthly payments. The best bit? You could save up to 25% on your servicing costs. Find out more about Priority Service Plan, here.
What is a Vehicle Health Check (VHC)?
Whenever you bring your car into one of our workshops for an MOT, service, or repair, we will complete a free Vehicle Health Check on your vehicle. It's a comprehensive inspection from bumper-to-bumper examining:
- Vehicle interior and controls
- Key fluid levels
- Lights
- Brakes
- Steering
- Tyres
- Suspension.
You will receive a video of your check (VHC) showing the overall condition of your car, highlighting any issues, along with a competitive, no obligation estimate on any work required. We'll also provide you with a written summary.
What are the benefits of a Vertu Motors Priority Service Plan?
With a Vertu Motors Priority Service Plan, you can spread the cost of servicing with manageable monthly payments and could save you up to 25% in comparison to one-off servicing costs!
The plan covers the cost of servicing, parts, labour, and MOT for the next three years, putting you in control.
