Buying a used car should feel safe, not stressful. That's why every car we sell is protected as standard — and why you can extend that cover or add an all-in premium pack. Here's exactly how it all works, what's covered, and how to make a claim if you ever need to.
A warranty is your protection against the cost of unexpected mechanical or electrical failure after you buy your car. If a covered part fails, your warranty pays to repair or replace it — parts and labour — so a sudden fault doesn't become a sudden bill.
It's important to understand what a warranty is for: it covers sudden failure of a component that was working normally, not the gradual wear and tear that comes with using any car, and not routine servicing items. Think of it as cover for the "what if it goes wrong" — the expensive, unexpected faults — rather than day-to-day maintenance.
Every car we sell at LMC includes a 3-month comprehensive warranty as standard, at no extra cost — and that means full parts, labour and VAT cover on repairs, not just the price of a part. You can extend that cover to 12 or 24 months with our Crystal Clear Warranty, or go all-in with our Premium Package, which wraps 3 years of warranty, servicing, MOTs and paint protection into one. And because we handle claims in-house, if something does go wrong you're speaking to real people who know your car — not a faceless call centre.
Before you spend a penny extra, every LMC car already comes with cover and peace of mind built in.
Comprehensive cover on the major mechanical and electrical components — parts, labour and VAT — included free with every car.
An independent inspection and breakdown-backed reassurance from a name every driver already trusts.
Every car is HPI-checked, so you know it's clear of outstanding finance, insurance write-offs and mileage anomalies.
Keep the free 3-month warranty, extend to 12 or 24 months with our Crystal Clear Warranty, or go all-in with the 3-year Premium Package. Spread the cost interest-free over 4 months.
Included free with every car — 3 months of comprehensive cover from the day you drive away.

Every car comes with the backing of the AA — the name millions of drivers already rely on. It means an independent standard behind your purchase, breakdown-backed reassurance, and an added layer of confidence that you're buying from a dealer that takes its responsibilities seriously.
