Warranty Transfer
Has anyone here ever bought a second hand car with a remainder of the manufacturers warranty and then been asked to pay to have it transferred. The Fiat 500 we bought a couple of months ago isn't 3 years old till October so when the boot open switch stopped working we just took it back to the main dealer despite buying it from an independent. Car was booked in, they agreed it was a warranty repair and they fitted a new handle and switch assembly the following week. They've just phoned my wife to say that the warranty isn't in her name therefore they can't put it through as a warranty repair unless we pay £30 to transfer it.
As far as I'm concerned they've carried out the work now so they can poke it, surely the warranty is with the car and not the owner.
