Car repairs and consumer rights

Does your car need to be repaired but you want some expert tips on your rights as a consumer? At Car Quote UK we can point you in the right direction concerning your rights by law when carrying out repairs on your vehicle. You have a range of statutory rights by UK law that protect vehicle owners needing to carry out repairs on their car. You can turn to the Sale of Goods Act to protect you if you've bought a car and if the vehicle needs fixing after sale then your seller may need to take action according to the law. If you visit a mechanic you are also protected by law according to the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982. This means that any car repairs undertaken are done so with a 'reasonable' level of care and skill within what is considered a reasonable time and for a reasonable cost.
