Vauxhall zafira - AA Extended Warranty - leea55
I brought a vauxhall Zafira B on the 11/08/2012 and whilst paying for the car I paid £700 for AA extended Gold Warranty. Whilst travelling home the other night 04/09/2012 I noticed a load of white smoke, I called the AA who said I had to take the car to a garage that they recommend (halfords in Hemel Hempstead). I took try car to them to be told hours later that they don't have the facilities to diagnose my car and to take it either to a diesel specialisted or to a main dealer. I called AA to be informed that they would only pay £39 per hour labour and what ever the diagnoses is, they will only pay for non orrignal parts. The AA recommend that I do not really use the car as this would make warranty void as I would cause more damage to my. Car but I'm also to find a specialist that should be able to fix my car.
So currently I have a car that I can't use, AA reconmended garage that can't fix my car and a £700 warranty that is not worth the paper it is written on
