The estate is not secure out-of-hours, so any vehicle left outside is done so at the owner’s risk.

Please remove any VALUABLE ITEMS from your vehicle, as we cannot be responsible for its contents

FCC   GUARANTEE

Whatever we purchase in life, we all want a back-up service that supports and protects us if things should go wrong.

In the event that you are not happy with any aspect of our service or a repair, a senior member of staff will take responsibility to deal with your problem and seek to resolve the issue.

The following outlines the terms of FCC parts and labour warranty.

FCC LABOUR:

‘We guarantee our workmanship for as long as you own the car’.

PARTS WARRANTY:

Parts supplied through one of our approved suppliers.

Such parts will have the manufacturers guarantee. This is usually 12,000 miles or 12 months.

A failed part will be removed and replaced by FCC under the terms of the manufactures warranty within this period.

Parts purchased from a Vehicle Main dealer.

Under the terms of their warranty and in the event of a claim, they may stipulate that the vehicle has to be returned  to a main dealer workshop for rectification.

They may not allow FCC to undertake the claim. In this event you would need to take the vehicle to the nearest vehicle main dealer for rectification.

Parts supplied outside FCC approved suppliers

Our normal policy is to supply parts only from a known established supplier, with the assurance of original equipment standard and quality. These are then covered by the manufactures’ guarantee in event of any failure.

We may, due to scarcity or supply issues, with your agreement, need to purchase parts outside of that framework.

In such cases we may not be able to offer a warranty on either the part or the labour should a fault occur with the fitted part.

 Warranty claim procedure on work undertaken by FCC

Should there be a problem with any work carried out by FCC on your vehicle, or a failure of parts supplied and fitted by FCC.

In the first instance you should contact FCC to notify your concern.

The vehicle should be returned to FCC for us to investigate and establish any potential claim under the warranty.

If the vehicle needs to be recovered to FCC, reimbursement for any recovery and transportation costs involved would be subject to the parts manufacturer’s warranty claim procedure and liability.

If for some impracticable reason, the vehicle cannot be returned to FCC (eg immobility or distance) FCC must be contacted at the time of the failure and in all instances, FCC must first be given the opportunity to either rectify the problem or to authorise a resolution.

Any subsequent rectification or repair by another garage not authorised by, or agreed with FCC, could result in an invalid claim.

Any failed parts must be kept for inspection under any warranty claim.

COMPLAINTS

If you should have any complaint about FCC, in the first instance please refer this to the Service Manager at Fields Car Centre in writing.

We will honestly and fairly look into any complaint with the view to resolve your concerns.

Should for any reason we be unable to agree on a resolution then we will submit this to an independent arbitration of your choice. As members of the Retail Motor Industry Federation we adhere to their independent arbitration.
