Toyota UK's groundbreaking warranty scheme | Adds a year’s warranty each time it is serviced

Quote:
The ‘Relax’ scheme adds a year’s warranty to a vehicle each time it is serviced at a Toyota or Lexus dealer. There is no extra cost for the programme, servicing costs are unchanged, and vehicles are eligible until they are 10 years old or have covered 100,000 miles.
More details in link below

Wonderful initiative and hopefully Toyota India looks into this, though I am sure they will not consider launching in India.

Not really ground breaking. Mitsubishi already has a 10 year warranty scheme in the Oz.

Even Hyundai has a 10 year warranty scheme but the Toyota scheme is different.

The warranty increases by a year everytime you service the car at a Toyota dealer. If not then no more increase in warranty.

However not sure how they will track is work is done outside and only to renew the warranty small service is done at a Toyota workshop.

There is no cost involved in Toyota warranty. Just get your regular service done at authorised service center and you get one year warranty. The service costs remain as is and is not bumped up either. Best part is even if you buy a 9 year old car and service at Toyota, you get 10th year warranty.

It's the same with Mitsubishi. No additional costs involved.

The Mitsubishi one as I understand, 10 year warranty is from Factory. Toyota one is add on and even a older car is entitled for 10 year warranty. But I get your point, as long as one sticks to authorised service center, Mitsubishi does get a 10 year warranty which is the end result of Toyota warranty too. The latter has bit more flexibility though. For instance a Mitsubishi car bought in 2018 may not qualify for 10 year warranty unlike Toyota. Also note Toyota one is applicable to all, while Mitsubishi is restricted to some models.

Yes, looks quite similar. From Toyota Relax

Quote:
Every new and used Toyota, is eligible to be covered by up to 10 years’ manufacturer warranty through Toyota Relax. This is provided through an initial 3 years manufacturer warranty from the vehicle’s registration date that can be extended with regular servicing at a Toyota dealer. 12 months warranty is included with every Toyota Service, up to 100,000 miles or 10 years, whichever comes first, giving you a chance to relax in the knowledge that you and your vehicle are in safe hands.

From Mitsubishi Australia Scheme

Quote:
10 year/200,000 km* New Car Warranty

*Mitsubishi’s Standard New Car Warranty is 5 year/100,000 km (whichever occurs first). You may also be eligible for an Extended New Car Warranty up to 10 year/200,000 km if you’ve had all scheduled services done through the authorised Mitsubishi Motors Dealer Network. Some customers excluded such as government, taxis, rentals and selected national business.

Toyota warranty is like life insurance - will probably be needed only once in a lifetime, if at all

This is quite innovative though - and considering the lower cost of service for Toyotas, this alone will be a selling point of launched in India!

If I let VW do a service on my car and have them repair all that they say is needed I will get a years mobility warranty for free. My car is 19 years old but that does not matter. Only trouble is the service and repairs will cost an arm and a leg.

No additional costs involved, but the clause is all servicing has to be at an authorised Mitsubishi dealer. Else, it reverts to the 5 years warranty.
