Mechanical Breakdown Warranty

When purchasing a used vehicle you need to consider how you will protect yourself against any unforeseen costs during the period of ownership. Joe Duffy Extended Warranty is available for 24 months.

No one plans for an unexpected repair bill, but as your car increases in age and mileage, so does the risk of mechanical failure.

Our warranty has been designed to protect you against the costs incurred in the event of an electrical or mechanical failure of an included component or breakdown/immobilisation of the vehicle.*

All mechanical and electrical components are included against any mechanical breakdown during the warranty period, provided that the terms and conditions of the agreement are fully complied with. Refer to the warranty schedule for conditions and exclusions.

*The benefits summarised above are subject to the terms and conditions. There are also certain limitations in the maximum amount paid in the event of a breakdown. Please ask your supplying dealer for further details.
