WARRANTY CLAIMS & BUSINESS RATES - HIT ME HARD

[@ianwatson9244]

From past experience you can request someone from the rates department to come out and remeasure the area. Also as a side note put a little chain link fence between you and next doors this can even be a plastic one if need be, it takes away any miss measuring when they do decide to come and re-evaluate the area. Hope this helps you a little. Love the video's keep them coming .

First time commenting on your channel. I had a blow out in my 1976 Camaro at the exact same spot outside the RAC building in 1987. Back in the day before mobile phones you had to use the motorway phones, spaced every mile, They said two hours, I SHOUTED I AM HERE waving my arms like a stranded sailor .

Hi Lee, ask for a site visit from the planning office. Contact your local councillor and ask for their help. They may fight your corner at any hearing. They may be referring to historical records , which includes all of the land as yours. Good luck.

[@roberthilton2824]

Mr Car Pitch, advice re Non-Domestic Rates, have you claimed the 75% Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Relief Scheme on your Business Rates Bill? As you are over the £12K threshold for 100% Relief -as your RV is 13500, so you will only get 50% Small Business Rate Relief (you loses 1.667% relief for every £50 over the 12K threshold) Have you claimed the above discount on top of your Small Business Rate Relief? As you are operating a car sales business you are entitled to claim the Relief. Contact your local council business rates team, and request the discount be applied to your bill if it hasn't already been applied to your bill.

[@carukchannel]

thanks Robert I will look into this

[@johnd4273]

Great channel. That is shocking regarding's the rates. You wonder why businesses end up in trouble. Its total incompetence. Those Peugeot locking nuts can be removed by welding a bolt on. I went to Formula 1 for two replacement tyres and had the locking nut in the boot when I left home and after 30 mins they came to me asking me for the locking nut. I said its in the boot under the tray in the foam cut out . They said come and have a look. Its disappeared . They had miss laid it then said I must be mistaken ! They then so called reviewed the cctv and said no locking nut was removed. Amazing cctv system they have which can see through metal. They admitted no liability. Peugeot want £175 + vat for a replacement key set which can take weeks from France as they can obtain key code number on there system. So in the end its cost me £70 to have them removed plus cost of new locking wheel nuts plus the purchase of the four nuts when welded off. I will be claiming compensation. I should listened to my partner who had tyres changed by them and they lost her locking nut as well !

[@cpyart]

Tip with dodgy lock nuts. If they aren't monkey metal, take a nut and weld it to the end. Undo easy as owt. I've given this tip out many a time over the years and even to my ex testers son who scratched his head for forty minutes trying to remove some from a Rover. Four nuts and four welds later, those lock nuts were on the floor within five minutes. Commercial tyre fitter here. 👍

[@volt8684]

They have lost their usefulness. Nobody seems to thieve wheels no more

[@cpyart]

@@volt8684 that's because nearly all vehicles come with alloys as standard nowadays. However i know someone who had their wheels pinched a few years back because they had new tyres fitted. Someone jacked their vehicle up and swapped their bald wheels for the new ones, then drove off on new tyres, leaving their knackered ones behind on my customers car. Still a good deterrent but removal tools are available on eBay etc. I have two types but if they fail, then welding always works unless it's monkey metal. I have cut the wheels off a car in the past just leaving the lock nut to get at with molegrips.

[@Finglesham]

When I was in local government,as Head of Financial Services, we employed a specialist company to argue the valuation for our council properties. We were challenging them all the time. Obviously, we paid a fee but we always came out well. I cannot recall the name of the company now as it was 15 years ago I retired. But surely you could google this? They were experts at fighting valuations tribunals and , as I say, usually won their case.

Hi to anyone in the motortrade used car sales ........ I've just bought a Jag X351 from a dealer (car lot type place) for £19k Beautiful car & well kept etc. Question is what are the dealer legal obligations as with regard the warranty? They palmed me off with a 3rd party 3 month policy which has a maximum claim limit of wait for it .........£500 and a maximum £50 per hour labour rate ⚠️ which to my mind is laughable and won't even repair the simplest of components these days. What are my consumer rights on this please folks? Traditionally traders had to offer a 3 month warranty on all major parts like engine, gearbox and back axle etc. Is that still the case? Thanks in advance.

[@pete707]

You have the 3rd party warranty in addition to your consumer rights (The Consumer Rights Act 2015). Lets say you had a £750 repair and the warranty paid the maximum at £500, the shortfall would need to be paid, if applicable, by the selling dealer or by yourself in other circumstances. Have a google regarding the consumer rights and read the terms and conditions on the policy you have.

[@julesviolin]

@@pete707 Thanks Pete. The 3rd party (a worthless non FCA policy ) has maximum £500 per claim. That won't even repair an alternator or water pump these days ! The dealer warranty is even worse at £250 max per claim. Total joke. We've been stitched up big time ⚠️
