seatkid Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 I service my own car - I dont trust garages after a few bad experiences plus they are too expensive. When I arranged my Green Card for the latest trip to Europe, Tesco convinced me to take out European Breakdown cover. I told the girl that my car was 12 years old and I do my own servicing and I didnt think my car would qualify but she said no it was OK. Today, reading the policy (which I was told was basically Green Flag) there is a general exclusion clause that is constantly referred to. "Vehicles which have not been maintained and operated in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendation" As I'm not big on record keeping nowadays, although I know my cars as well looked after as any dealer serviced car, would I have any problems? What do you think? Ditch the cover or keep it in case I need to be towed off an autobahn somewhere? Would Tesco start a Spanish Inquisition after an "incident" - particularly if it involved a lot of expense? Quote
gregers Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 do you still have the most recent reciepts?im sure if you have this would suffice as proof that the recommended servicing has been carried out. Quote
seatkid Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Posted May 19, 2011 Yeah, got the receipts for filters, oil etc. Don't anticipate any problems - but there's always a first time...... Just I get more nervous with age...... Quote
Mirez Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 I think they are more likely to not tow you then to start investigations after - its there so they don't have to repair/tow sheds. I really wouldn't worry :lol: Quote
