I am trying to find out which car manufacturers from the following list offer free breakdown cover as part of the showroom deal. This can either be arranged by the dealer themselves or be part of the insurance package they give-away (if any!). Please see the list of manufacturers below I am interested in:
Nissan
Mazda
Mitsubishi
BMW
Rover/MG
Audi
Mercedes
Landrover
Kia
Citroen
Vauxhall
Ford
Peugeot
Chrysler
Chevrolet
Dodge
Toyota
Fiat
Honda
Alfa Romeo
Hyundai
Jeep
Mini
Volkswagon
Seat
Lexus
Renault
Jaguar
Skodo
Smart
Subaru
Suzuki
Volvo
If so, which roadside assitance company do each manufacturers use? Maybe if we can get someone who has bought a car from each manufacturer brand new, we can formulate a list between us!
Thankyou for any help you can provide.
J G – Most, if not all of the dealer websites do not mention breakdown cover. The websites mostly advertise their finance options and real cash savings as opposed to smaller perks like breakdown cover. Thankyou for your input, you have been very ‘helpful’
I have given a call to each of these car manufacturers and they all offer free brakdown cover, generally for the first 3 years of ownership for a brand new car or 1 year for an approved used car. I have also found out which companies they use as well so thankyou all for your input
I thought they all gave free breakdown cover.
Had a new Peugeot and they did for 3 years
If they didnt and the car broke down the other end of the country from where you bought it they would be liable for picking it up and getting it fixed. So it is easier for them to do a deal with the RAC or AA and include it in the purchase price

I have a Mistubishi Outlander 4×4 and it comes with free breakdown cover for three years.

hmmm,personally i wouldn’t expect a car manufacturer to advertise free brake down cover,i mean it would sound as though they dont have much confidence in there cars then why should we?
….almost all car insurance company’s offer roadside assistance/relay home as std..

Enough with the ‘we’! Look through the makers’ websites yourself for the info.
