Question:
I wondered what the law says about how long a garage must guarantee the repair work that they have carried out on a vehicle. For example, if a timing belt and tensioner was replaced but the pulleys weren't and some time afterwards the pulleys failed, wouldn't that be the mechanics fault?

Are Tanabe exhaust systems quiet like they say they are?
Nope. The mechanic is only responsible for the work he actually did. If the pulleys looked ok at the time, it's not his fault if they failed later. Even a certified mechanic can't predict future failure.How many horsepower a 89 vw cabriolet have?
F>O>R>D> doesn't that stand for FIX OR REPAIR DAILY, Sorry thats FOUND ON ROAD DEAD, is it the mechanix fault or the design engineer.I wana put my 1995 Ford Ranger on a diet??
No a mechanic will only do the work he is told to carry out. Personally I would of replaced the pulleys at the same time, but you cannot hold the mechanic responsible because you didn't ask him to.There is no law to say a repair will last for any length of time .
In the states, a lot of independent shops offer only 90 days/3 or 4k miles. A dealer shop will usually give you 12mo/12k miles or the metric equiv for miles.
Anyone one out there with a Honda Odyssey 2003 with noise in the passenger side windshield area. ??
90 days SEEMS to be the minimum required here. Maybe laws in the UK hold them to higher standards (as they should), however.
