Know your consumer rights when making car repairs

Do you need to repair your car but you want some expert tips on your rights as a consumer? With Hyper Automotive we have all the advice you could wish to know concerning your rights by law when carrying out repairs on your vehicle. UK law covers you with a number of statutory rights that affect car owners looking to repair their vehicle. When you buy a car you are covered by the Sale of Goods Act and if the vehicle needs fixing after sale then your seller could have legal obligations to you as a buyer. Professional mechanics also operate under legal guidelines according to the rules stated by the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982. This means that any car repairs undertaken are done with a 'reasonable' level of skill and maintenance occurs in a reasonable time frame and at a fair price.
