Your legal consumer rights when repairing your car

Do you need to repair your car but you need advice on your consumer rights? At Fred Hale Motors we can offer some helpful hints when it comes your legal rights when fixing your vehicle. There are a few statutory rights according to UK law that affect car owners looking to repair their vehicle. The Sale of Goods Act also covers you if you buy a car and if the vehicle needs fixing after sale then your seller could have legal obligations to you as a buyer. The law is also on your side if you take your vehicle to a mechanic according to the rules stated by the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982. This means that any car repairs undertaken are provided under a 'reasonable' level of care within a reasonable time span and for a price considered reasonable.
