The local vw have just announced they are closed due to corona. My first service is next month. How does this work with warranties if you can't get it done?
There aren't any more dealers near my location and I am certainly not taking it into the place i bought it from ever again.T Roo said:Go to a different dealer :?:
Think we all might have to sit it out until things "normalise". Your health is more important. Keep an eye on your oil level and tyre pressures and hope a vaccine is developed ASAP.Tigermad said:There aren't any more dealers near my location and I am certainly not taking it into the place i bought it from ever again.
Yes there are but getting to my place of work and back is a priority since I'm a key worker and I don't want my car losing its warranty or breaking down.Steve said:I think at times like this there are more important things to worry about :roll:
How could they stay open. How are they different to shops for example ?They would still be putting their staff and mechanics and customers at risk.I dont think i would like to be getting in and driving someone else's car or even handling their keys.Tigermad said:Thanks for the replies. I'm surprised they have shut them to be honest when it appears they could stay open.
Garages can stay open if they want to.Steve said:How could they stay open.

Hmm what's the definition for garages though? Do they mean petrol stations? Or do they mean workshops? Or both. I see car showrooms are not allowed to open though. None too clear unfortunately.Tigermad said:Garages can stay open if they want to.Steve said:How could they stay open.

Unless one is a key worker, the advice is Stay at Home, so for non-key workers, you won't need showroom/workshop/petrol stations until the restrictions are relaxed, so no servicing, MOT needed until then. Staying safe and keeping others safe is much more important than any car and we all need to bear that responsibility.Tigermad said:Showrooms yes. Not the garages attached.

Petrol stations can stay open apparently. I am a key worker. I work for a transport company that delivers into the supermarkets.Hawkeye said:Unless one is a key worker, the advice is Stay at Home, so for non-key workers, you won't need showroom/workshop/petrol stations until the restrictions are relaxed, so no servicing, MOT needed until then.

<COLOR color="#0080FF">Quite agree, Hawkeye as any car is of no use to anyone when they are DEAD. Wash hands, keep out of the way of anyone or anything. In fact, just hibernate.Hawkeye said:Unless one is a key worker, the advice is Stay at Home, so for non-key workers, you won't need showroom/workshop/petrol stations until the restrictions are relaxed, so no servicing, MOT needed until then.
