Your consumer rights when making car repairs

Do you need to repair your car but you want to know how your consumer rights are affected? At Becker Motor we can point you in the right direction when it comes your legal rights when fixing your car. According to UK law you have various statutory rights that serve automobile owners looking to repair their car. You can turn to the Sale of Goods Act to protect you if you've bought a car and if the vehicle needs fixing after sale then your seller might be accountable under law. Professional mechanics also operate under legal guidelines under the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982. This means that any car repairs undertaken are done so with a 'reasonable' level of care and skill and that the vehicle maintenance is done in a reasonable time and for a reasonable price.
