Our Self-funded Warranty Products
With over 100 years of combined experience in our industry, the directors of A1 Approved have developed what we believe to be an unrivalled level of dealer and customer support to help promote and serve your business.
As an example:
- Total-up your warranty spend for the past 12 months.
- Subtract the amount you claimed back.
- What remains is what you would keep as profit using our self-funded warranty!
- So, for example, if you sold 35 cars a month buying a £150 warranty for each, you'd spend £5,250 per month on warranties. That's £63,000 a year.
- Say you claimed 35% back for repairs. That's £22,050.
- This leaves £40,950 in your claims fund.
- With our fully managed self-funded warranty, your only cost is an admin fee - let's say, for example, £20 per warranty.
- This means, after deducting your claims and fees from your £63,000 total spend, you would keep the remaining £32,550. Can you afford to lose this money each year?

Spoke to a gentleman called Jack, couldn’t speak more highly with how much pride this man has for his job. I called yesterday with regards to a oil leak on my Mercedes Sl500, he requested a quote and some images and within a hour of the images being sent he emailed Emmy garage with costings for approval. All I can say is thank you and you are very valuable member of staff at A1 Approved. Thanks Pete

A1 approved have been outstanding… A1 approved have been outstanding throughout my claim, the garage repairing my motorhome were being a bit awkward ref billing but nothing was too much trouble for A1, as long as I kept them up to date with everything that went on between me and the repairers. All the staff were super friendly and helpfull and quick to redpond to any questions, absolutley recommended.
Mr Justin Evans - 29th September 2020
After my car being diagnosed with a potentially very expensive problem, i got in touch with A1 to help sort it out. This was the 1st time i've had this happen and didn't know what to expect. Brad walked me through the whole process and put me at ease throughout. He was extremely helpful, courteous and professional. Nothing was too much for him (despite my going into panic mode). I can't recommend A1 Approved, and Brad in particular, enough.

Reduction of payment when renewing my warranty again for loyalty. Very helpful in these difficult times. Very understanding and helpful staff
Mr Frederick White - 7th April 2021
I recently had a breakdown and you covered the whole amount owed as promised when I purchased the warranty and on the same day as my van was fixed by garage. Very easy to make a claim without delay or issues. Thank you
Ms Joanna Pace - 7th May 2021
Guys at A1 Approved helped me out so much, I’d like to say thank you for approving my claim and keeping me informed of the outcome through such a difficult time.
Miss Amy Jones - 22nd July 2020
Had a standard warranty included with a purchase of an Audi A1. Unluckily had to make a claim within just 12 weeks due to a Mechanical problem that came up ESC in the dash. Emailed A1 approved immediately (as this was late Friday afternoon) and I was very impressed from the beginning, to receive an out of hours response from Bradley, acknowledging receipt of my email and confirming he’d speak to me on Monday in relation to my cars required repair. He gave me details of a garage local to me of where to take the vehicle for investigation into the problem. The standard warranty I had been given didn’t cover all the repair necessary but Bradley agreed to cover the lion share of the repair cost anyway - as a gesture of goodwill - he was AMAZING! He answered the phone every time I rang and returned a call when he said he would. Professional and efficient throughout and as a result I will definitely renew my warranty with A1 in full confidence. Highly recommend.
