Big Motoring World has become part of the RAC Approved Dealer programme. The move provides independent validation of the preparation of its used cars and gives customers access to the RAC Approved Garage & Repairer Network.
All vehicles sold by Big Motoring World are covered by a three-month ‘Big Care – Inspect & Repair Warranty.
This includes RAC Breakdown Cover, £0 customer contribution and immediate Wear and Tear cover. Customers are covered for the full value they paid for the vehicle.
Customers can extend the standard three-month warranty on their vehicle by purchasing an ‘RAC Inspect & Repair Extended Warranty’ or ‘RAC Inspect & Repair Extended EV Warranty’ for a period of 12, 24 or 36 months.
The RAC Inspect & Repair Extended EV Warranty offers protection for EV batteries, covering failure up to the value of the vehicle purchase price (excluding degradation), and multimedia protection up to £4,000.
Laurence Vaughan, CEO at Big Motoring World, said: “We know that most car buyers don’t have a ‘rainy day fund’ to cover expensive issues discovered after purchase, so it’s important that customers know buying a used car from Big Motoring World comes with peace of mind as standard.
“This means peace of mind that wear-and-tear items are covered the moment the car leaves the forecourt; peace of mind that costs are covered up to the price the customer paid; and peace of mind that all our EVs come with market-leading battery cover.
“We want customers to visit one of our 10 stores knowing that they can believe in the quality of our used cars. Now, with Big Motoring World as part of the RAC Approved Dealer programme, customers have an added layer of independent validation that helps mitigate perceived risks when buying used.”
Sean Kent, Managing Director, Automotive Europe at Assurant, which provides and administers RAC warranty products, said: “This partnership is closely aligned with our strategy of helping consumers thrive within the automotive industry, particularly as retailing becomes increasingly more digital led.
“Big Motoring World’s approach to electric vehicles is also well aligned with our own, including the adoption of our first to market EV One proposition, ensuring customers are supported with confidence as the transition to electric accelerates.”
As an Approved Dealer, Big Motoring World abides by the RAC Used Vehicle Code of Practice, which is approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute.
