Hi guys

Please can anyone who has had a works kit put on their cars, advise me how it will affect my warranty.

I have been told by the dealership that if JCG put my kit on and anything goes wrong with it, they won't fix it under the bmw warranty. Is this correct? I don't want to travel the 600miles round trip if something goes wrong? The dealership want the business so are they telling me porkies?

Thanks

My dealer is telling porkies then. I will contact Mini too I think.

Also JCG are more expensive than my dealership. I was always told that JCG were cheaper. The drive back attracts me no end but think hub will get that drive!!!!! I guess you should take it easy on the first trip out or not????

The JCW is FULLY warrantied by BMW / MINI, no matter which dealer fits it - incidentally, JCW should be well able to fit the kit that they themselves have developed - whether or not you get your dealer to fit it, you should read them the riot act for telling you blatant lies.............

like i said, the told me that if JCG fitted it and it needed attention then I could not get it seen to for free at the dealership as they didnt fit it. How absurb!!! what if i moved to Scotland? would that I mean I'd have to drive to JCG............no I dont think so either. I will let you know what Mini tell me. The warranty should cover the kit wherever it is fitted.

Would that be Sytner i Nottingham?

Cant believe your dealer would tell you that

it still amazes me some of the stuff the dealers come out with

of course it won't affect your warranty, 90% of us on Mini2 know 100% more about mini's than the dealers do IMO

I will get my facts straight and even ask Mini to put it in writing so I can show the dealership. I wonder if a man would have had the same crap thrown at them. I know i'm female but I'm not stupid and naive. My kit will be fitted at JCG, that I am sure of. Thanks guys all your help is very useful.

Generally the dealership has been good with me so I can't say I am 100% unhappy but this incident has left a bad taste in my mouth.

JCG did my car last weekend (JCW210, spotlights and suspension). First class service. Really helpful staff - ask for Robert Jones. There are NO warranty issues; just a fantastic drive with peace of mind. Oh yes, and a huge bill, before all the BBR types throw stones at me.

Have fun

Was it cheaper having it fitted direct at JCG ?

What was the total cost fitted ?

I'm getting the JCW kit fitted by JCG rather than my dealer, as

1. its cheaper! i think £400 in my case

2. i've heard stories of dealers not fitting the kit 100% correctly

In my case the dealer was cheaper by £80!!! strange that.

Can you PM me and let me know how much JC quoted you for a straight conversion . I presume its the same if you have a Cooper or Cooper S????
