warranty question

I’d love to be able to tell you to storm into the office, receipts in hand, and demand that the seals be replaced under an implied warranty, however, three years is pushing it. Granted, you would think that axle seals should last longer than three years, however, if you look at the basic consumer laws where you are, you will likely find that major repairs are warrantied for a year. After that time, you are pretty much on your own.

You might try this tactic to see if you can get some traction on your claim. Suggest to the technician or the manager that since the seals failed under four years that there might be something wrong somewhere and that it might be a good idea sit down to see if there might be some accommodation available, say, half-cost, split between you and the shop. Or, you might suggest some other plan where you pay a bit, but the shop pays more.

Honestly, I don’t know if they will bite because three years is still three years and seals do fail in 36 months. The shop is well within its rights say no and charge you full price.

Glad I could be of service!
