Posted: 19:01 - 16 Jul 2019 Post subject: Dealership - Service after 4 weeks?! |
|
|
Hi Everyone,
So my beloved Lambretta arrived yesterday and on the paperwork the dealer has stated I need a service 'after 311 miles' OR 'August 18th 2019 - whatever comes first'.....
Now, really? I need a service after just over a month?! REALLY?!
I have left numerous messages for these guys and have had no calls back so far...(typical eh?...)
Thoughts welcomed! |

Dealership confirmed - service required after a month of use.... have to take it to them to maintain a 5 year warranty, if I go to a local garage I only get a 2 year warranty.... anyone know how to get from Ashby de la Zouch to Blackburn without using a motorway?! |

300 miles, you should cover that well before August 18th, so, not really an issue?? ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |

There you go, that's practically half of your 300 miles there !! If I was to ride that avoiding motorways, I'd go up, via Ashbourne,Macclesfield, Stockport, and round the east of Manchester..
Are you likely to be keeping the scooter for 5 years? If not, just use a local garage. ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |

Why can't you go to a closer main dealer and still maintain your warranty?
There's one in Cannock, which is 1/3 the distance:
|
The odds are, that, it's a standard 2 year warranty, but, the supplying dealer has added an extra 3 years on, which is good for you if you live by the dealer, and, is good for the dealer, as they get your repeat 'service' custom.
If I remember rightly, speedway motorcycles in Cannock do something similar, except, you don't have to use them to service the bike, you can use a local garage. I haven't used them, so, i couldn't tell you how well that works in practice. ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |
