Picked this one up from the lads at TT Mechanica today — big respect to Tom & Bif for actually sorting the car when nobody else would.Customer broke down on Handforth Bypass… loud bang, warning lights all over. Got it recovered, diagnosed with a failed turbo bearing. Tried going through the warranty (part of a finance deal) — but of course, it was that classic line: “wear and tear.”Dealer blamed the warranty. Warranty blamed the dealer.No payout. No help. Customer paid out of pocket.Turbo fixed — but it was too late. Engine ticking = finished.To top it off, the AA inspection the finance company relied on?Done a year before the customer even bought the car. 😩Now it’s in the hands of the Financial Ombudsman.📣 Let this be a warning: don’t get pressured into warranties or finance deals without checking the small print.They sell you peace of mind, but when it all goes wrong — you’re on your own.TCR – Trafford Car Recovery🚛 Based in Manchester, covering the North West📞 07568073738🌐 www.traffordcarrecoveryservices.co.uk
