WILDAX TO LAUNCH UPGRADED WARRANTY
Campervan converter, WildAx, has launched an upgrade to its three-year factory warranty. While the factory warranty is still supplied as standard on all new models, the new WildAx Habitation Warranty Plus allows customers who have purchased the cover and experience problems with the habitation area of the campervan to take it to any one of over 280 locations or access over 200 mobile technicians to get their campervan fixed.
The upgraded warranty cover can be purchased from the supplying dealer or direct from WildAx. It is available not only to customers of all new WildAx models but also to owners of models up to 10 years old. The cost of the cover, which is supplied by a third-party company, is £220 for one year, £315 for two years and £400 for three.
WildAx has also appointed a new dealer, DG Motorhomes in Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, meaning its campervans are now available at 17 locations across the UK and Northern Ireland.
