Why Huntswood Van Centre’s 1-Year Warranty Actually Works for You
When you’re investing in a van, peace of mind matters just as much as performance. At Huntswood Van Centre, we’ve designed our 1-year warranty to be simple, transparent, and genuinely helpful—without the usual frustrations that come with third-party policies. We switched to self warranting around 2 years ago, moving on from traditional third-party warranties like Autoguard and Warranty Wise. They add unnecessary bureaucracy and paperwork requests from what should be a a simple transaction between the dealer and customer, and of course wriggle out of claims on technicalities. We are very surprised that hardly any dealerships around the country, self warrant their vehicles, which streamlines the whole process and leaves the customer happy when an issue is rectified with minimal fuss from the dealership.
Here are the three key elements that set our warranty apart:
1. Backed by Us — Not a Third-Party Insurer
Unlike many dealerships, we don’t sell you a warranty that’s managed by an external insurance company. There’s no middleman. No confusing terms designed to avoid payouts. No frustrating back-and-forth.
Our warranty is:
Handled entirely in-house
Backed by our own reputation
Built on trust, not loopholes
That means when something goes wrong, you’re dealing directly with the people who sold you the van—not an insurer looking for reasons to decline your claim. Learn more about how we work at Huntswood Van Center,
2. Simple, Direct Claims via WhatsApp
We know that when your van needs attention, the last thing you want is paperwork and long waiting times.
That’s why we’ve made the process as easy as possible:
Message us directly through our dedicated WhatsApp chat
Speak to a real member of our team
Get fast, clear guidance on your claim
Even better, you’re not tied to returning the van to us for repairs. With our approval you can use a trusted local garage near you. We’ll authorise the work quickly and you will stay on the road with minimal disruption.
3. Clear, Honest Coverage You Can Understand
No hidden clauses. No confusing jargon. Just straightforward terms:
Duration: 1 year or 7,500 miles (whichever comes first)
Claim limit: £1,000 per claim
For example:
If a repair costs £1,400 after 7 months, we’ll cover £1,000—you simply pay the remaining £400.
It’s a fair, transparent system that ensures you’re protected against major cost and you always know exactly where you stand.
A Warranty Built on Trust

By keeping everything in-house, communicating directly, and offering clear terms, we’ve created a warranty that actually works the way customers expect it to.
No chasing insurers. No hidden surprises. Just straightforward support when you need it most.
