Legal representation non Lexus

[Phil xxkr]

I am looking for recommendations for a legal beagle who knows about automotive issues, ie supplier & customer warranty disagreements. It's for a friend of mine and relates to a used MB recently purchased. 

Any steers gratefully received 👍

Is your friend a Member of any of the motoring organisations?  If so, it may be worth enquiring as I would have thought that warranty issues might be a common problem.

My AA Membership certainly does include legal representation in the event of a motoring related problem.

Yes Len, I am aware of this but I was specifically looking for someone like Nick, Mr loophole, Freeman. Actually that's a thought he may know someone 🤔

Tell him to join one or both of the 2  UK,MB Owners Forums.

He`ll get lots of advice from people who have been similarly shafted.

When I had a dispute with VW many years ago, my income protection policy legal advice telephone line put me in touch with a specialist lawyer who - to use a rather coarse term - ‘tore them (VW) a new one.’

The fees were capped (I seem to remember for non-property related issues it was £5k or thereabouts) but we didn’t get close to the level as VW folded after one robust letter - and there was no premium penalty for me either. Well worth looking at what existing insurance policies may be able to help with.

The car was replaced in short order!
