Warranty at My Mate Motors — Drive Away Properly Covered

✅ Statutory Warranty — Included Free With Every Eligible Car

Under Western Australian consumer law, most used cars we sell come with a statutory warranty included at no extra cost. This is the law — not a bonus, not a sales pitch — and it covers you against major mechanical failures for a set period after you drive away.

What's covered: Major mechanical components — engine, transmission, drivetrain and more.

How long: Varies based on the age and kilometres of the vehicle. Jamie will explain exactly what your specific car qualifies for before you sign.

Cost to you: $0 — it's included with every eligible vehicle.

🛡️ Extended Warranty — Optional Extra Cover, Backed by the Best in the Business

For buyers who want longer-term protection beyond the statutory period, we partner with Australia's leading independent warranty providers to offer extended warranty plans that genuinely deliver when you need them.

What extended warranty gets you:

• Cover beyond the statutory period — up to several years depending on the plan
• Protection against major and minor mechanical failures
• Nationwide claim support — get repairs done anywhere in Australia
• Roadside assistance included on most plans
• Fixed-price peace of mind — no surprise repai

Cost: Varies by car, plan length, and level of cover. Jamie will give you a straight quote based on the vehicle you're buying — no pushy upsell, no fine-print games.

🚗 Roadside Assistance — Help When You Need It Most

Most of our extended warranty plans include 24/7 Australia-wide roadside assistance — flat tyre, flat battery, locked out, ran out of fuel, broken down on the side of the freeway. One phone call, real help, anywhere in the country.

If your plan doesn't include it, we can add it on for a small extra cost. Either way — you're never stuck on your own.

🤝 Why Our Warranty Approach Is Different

No hidden gotchas. We tell you up front exactly what's covered and what isn't. No tiny print, no "actually that's not included" surprises six months down the track.

No pressure to upgrade. Statutory warranty is included free. If you want extended cover, great — we'll quote you fairly. If you don't, that's fine too. Your call, every time.

We back our cars. We hand-pick the vehicles we sell. We're not flogging dodgy stock and hoping the warranty company covers our mess — we sell good cars that don't break down in the first place.

Warranty can feel confusing — statutory vs extended, what's covered, what isn't, how to claim. Don't try to figure it out from a PDF. Pick up the phone, ask Jamie, get a straight answer.

Warranty FAQs — Straight Answers

Does every car come with warranty? Most do, under WA statutory warranty law. Some older or higher-kilometre vehicles may fall outside the statutory threshold — Jamie will be upfront about this before you buy.

How long is the statutory warranty? It depends on the age and kilometres of the car at time of sale. Jamie will tell you the exact period for the vehicle you're looking at.

Can I get warranty if I buy a cheaper car? Often yes — even cars under $5,000 can qualify for statutory warranty depending on age and kms. And extended warranty is available on most vehicles regardless of price.

What if I'm financing the car — is warranty included in my repayments? It can be. Extended warranty can be financed alongside your car loan, so it's wrapped into your weekly or monthly repayment instead of being a lump sum up front.

Who handles the claim if something goes wrong? For statutory warranty claims, contact us first and we'll guide you through it. For extended warranty claims, you'll go through your warranty provider — and we'll help you with that process too if you need it.

Can I get warranty on a car I'm buying privately? Statutory warranty only applies to dealer sales — that's one of the big advantages of buying from a licensed dealer like us. Extended warranty is sometimes available on private purchases through certain providers — call Jamie if you want help arranging it.
