All Vauxhall cars to have lifetime warranty

Motor company Vauxhall today announced that all its new cars will be covered by a lifetime warranty.

The warranty will apply to the first owner of any Vauxhall registered from August 2010.

To maintain the lifetime warranty, owners will need to visit a Vauxhall retailer annually for a free vehicle inspection.

The company is also set to announce details of a further programme enabling second owners to purchase the lifetime warranty.

Vauxhall Motors managing director Duncan Aldred said: "With the lifetime warranty, we are making a strong statement of confidence in the quality of our products and a clear intent to provide the very best customer service in the UK."
