Detailed Guidance on Warranty Beyond Warranty by MFCS

The MFCS Warranty Beyond Warranty (WBW) is a detailed cover designed to assist car owners with the rising cost of car repairs and car part replacements. Your MFCS dealer/outlet will only accept the responsibility for repair or replacements as per the terms of the WBW contract. We have provided an overview of the terms and conditions of the MFCS WBW contract below, while it is recommended that you conduct a detailed check of the document..

Warranty Obligation

After entering into a WBW contract, your MFCS dealer is obliged to repair or replace any part of your vehicle that has been found to have defects since the commencement of the contract. However, the replacement or repair will only be carried out at the MFCS dealer’s discretion. The replacement of the defected part will be done so with a new part of equivalent cost, at no cost to the owner for the part or labor. However, the dealer must acknowledge that the defect is attributable to mechanical or electrical breakdown as definite in the warranty.

Validity Period of Warranty

The WBW contract will commence from the day you sign the contract itself. The validity period of the warranty shall be either 12 months, or 20,000 kilometers, whichever happens first.

Warranty Transfer on transfer of ownership

If you choose to sell your car, you may transfer the warranty as well. This would increase the value of your car. In order to request for a transfer of your warranty beyond warranty contract, simply contact your MFCS dealer and provide them with the details of the person to whom you will be transferring ownership to. There is a nominal transfer fee of Rs. 200.

What you need to do before claiming Warranty?

In the event of the occurrence of a car breakdown, the owner must:

• Carry out all necessary steps to minimize the extent of damage.

• Drive the car or have it towed without any delay to the nearest MFCS outlet, before any other mechanic or local car servicing centre.

• Give permission to the dealer to establish the cause of the car breakdown.

• Be willing to take the costs of car repairs and replacements in the vehicle if the cause of the damage is not covered by the warranty. The owner is also responsible for payment for any other work the dealer is asked to carry out.

• Make the car’s service history record and service bills available to the MFCS dealer if required by them.

• Failure to comply with the above formalities may lead to a refusal to pay the claim.

Warranty Claim Requirements

• In order for the WBW contract to be valid, the vehicle must be serviced by an MFCS dealer or outlet with the recommendations as listed below:

• 1st Paid service must be conducted within 5 months from the commencement of the contract, or 8000 kms since the start date of the contract, whichever comes first.

• 2nd Paid Service must be conducted within 10 months from the commencement of the contract, or 16,000 kms since the start date of the contract, whichever come first.

• The above requirements may be relaxed by an additional 30 days, or 500 kms, but not more. Anything extra shall invalidate the warranty. This relaxation allowance is to allow the vehicle owner to ensure services are conducted at the correct intervals for their vehicle.

• The car owner must preserve all servicing bills supplied by the MFCS dealer.

• The car’s servicing record shall be compiled by the MFCS dealer whenever a service is completed, and the record shall be retained by the owner as approved, in the event of a claim.

5 Tips on Minimizing Repair Requirements for Your Vehicle:

• Avoid slamming down on the car pedals. Try to accelerate in a smooth manner and minimize last second braking. This will without a doubt extend the longevity of your car’s brakes, suspensions, tires, and transmission.

• Keep the car’s exterior clean by regular MFCS car washes. Pollution, dirt, and road dust all lead to corrosion of a vehicle’s metal parts.

• Keep your cars protected all the time with seat covers and floor mats, thereby keeping the interior of your car clean. This simple task drastically reduces wear and tear.

• You can greatly increase the life of your car’s tires by keeping them inflated at the right air pressure at all times.

• Ensure that your car’s oil and filters are checked according to your vehicle’s recommended maintenance schedule.
