Allmac Repair Limited Warranty
Limited Warranty Coverage
All repairs using stock-type new parts are covered under a 2-year/40,000-km limited parts and labor warranty for the original owner. This warranty expires when either the time or mileage limit is reached, whichever occurs first.
This warranty covers the replacement of the failed part only. It does not cover:
• Consequential damages, including but not limited to towing, vehicle downtime, or additional repairs resulting from the failed part.
• Damage caused by customer abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or misuse.
• Any costs exceeding the original invoice amount for the covered repair.
This warranty is non-transferable and applies only to the original owner who paid for the repair.
​
​
Warranty Exclusion for Modified and Non-Standard Use Vehicles
Allmac Repair LTD does not provide any warranty, express or implied, for vehicles that have been modified from their original manufacturer specifications or used in a manner outside of standard operating conditions. This includes, but is not limited to, performance modifications, aftermarket tuning, racing, off-road use, and any alterations that impact the vehicle’s original design or intended use. Any repairs or services performed on such vehicles are done at the owner’s risk, and the company assumes no liability for any resulting issues or failures.
Warranty Exclusions
Allmac Repair LTD’s warranty does not cover wear items, including but not limited to: seals, gaskets, fluids, alignments, tires, brake pads, windshield wipers, filters, and any other components subject to regular wear and tear. These items are considered maintenance parts and are the responsibility of the vehicle owner.
Warranty Voidance Due to Non-Payment
All warranties are null and void if the invoice for the related repairs or services has not been paid in full. The company is not responsible for any warranty claims on outstanding or partially paid invoices. Warranty coverage will only be valid once full payment has been received.
Extended Warranty Coverage
Certain parts may come with an extended manufacturer warranty, which varies by part and manufacturer. For example, an engine manufacturer may offer a 5-year/160,000-km limited warranty.
If an extended warranty applies, it will be clearly stated on the invoice.
All extended warranties are provided and administered solely by the manufacturer and are subject to their terms and conditions. Allmac Repair LTD is not responsible for any claims, approvals, or denials related to manufacturer warranties. Customers must contact the manufacturer directly for warranty claims and coverage details.
​
Used Parts Warranty
All repairs using used parts are covered by a 30-day/1,000-km limited parts and labor warranty, whichever occurs first.
This warranty covers the replacement of the failed used part only and does not cover:
• Consequential damages, including towing, vehicle downtime, or additional repairs resulting from the failed part.
• Failures caused by non-covered parts, lack of maintenance, unapproved repairs, or neglect.
• Any costs exceeding the original invoice amount for the covered repair.
This warranty is non-transferable and applies only to the original owner who paid for the repair.
Non-Transferable Warranty & Repair Conditions
This warranty is non-transferable and applies only to the original owner who paid for the repair.
All warranty repairs must be performed at Allmac Repair LTD, unless alternative arrangements are made at the sole discretion of Allmac Repair LTD.
In the event of a potential warranty claim, the customer must contact Allmac Repair LTD at the first sign of failure. Failure to do so may result in the denial of warranty coverage.
Warranty Limitations & Void Conditions
The warranty will be voided under the following circumstances:
• Failure caused by a non-covered part – If a non-warrantied component fails and causes damage to a covered part, the affected part is not covered under warranty.
• Example: A serpentine belt is replaced by Allmac Repair LTD. Ten months later, the alternator fails and causes the belt to break. The belt is not covered under warranty.
• Lack of maintenance – If the vehicle is not serviced at the recommended intervals, the warranty will be voided.
• Example: A new engine or transmission has not been serviced as required. This will void the warranty.
• Unapproved repairs or modifications – Any unauthorized repairs, modifications, or tampering with covered components will void the warranty.
• Example: An unapproved repair causes a new engine to overheat. This would void the engine warranty.
• Neglect or misuse – Damage resulting from improper use, lack of care, or failure to address issues promptly is not covered.
Additionally, surface corrosion on parts is not covered under this warranty.
Required Service Intervals to Maintain Warranty
To maintain warranty coverage, the following service intervals must be followed. Additionally, the manufacturer’s service requirements may apply and must be adhered to.
• New Engine:
• 1st oil service: 500-1000 km
• Regular oil services: Every 7,500 km or 6 months, whichever comes first
• New Transmission:
• 1st service: 1,000-1,500 km

Failure to perform the required maintenance may void the warranty. Proof of service may be required for warranty claims.
Vehicle Storage & Liability
Allmac Repair LTD is not responsible for any loss, damage, theft, or incidents involving vehicles left on the premises before, during, or after repairs are completed. Customers leave their vehicles at their own risk.
Vehicle Storage Fees
• A storage fee of $50 per day will be charged for vehicles not picked up after repairs are completed, unless prior arrangements have been made.
• A storage fee of $50 per day will also apply to vehicles awaiting approval or denial from aftermarket warranty companies.
Allmac Repair LTD is not responsible for any delays caused by aftermarket warranty providers. Customers are encouraged to follow up with their warranty company promptly to avoid additional charges.
Third party warranties
For customers wishing to utilize a third-party warranty company to cover the cost of repairs:
Additional administration charges apply for the extra time dealing with a warranty company.
Any diagnosing charges, deposits, and remaining balances may be required to be paid by the customer prior to commencing work.
If the warranty company denies repairs, the customer will be required to pay for all balances remaining.
Storage fees of $50 a day while waiting for approval from the warranty company will be applied.
Understanding the Limitations of Third-Party Warranties for Auto Repairs
If you have a third-party warranty for your vehicle repairs, it's important to understand the limitations of these warranties. In many cases, third-party warranties do not provide the coverage that customers expect, and there may be additional costs involved. Here are some key points to keep in mind:
​
What is a third-party warranty?
A third-party warranty is a contract between you and a warranty provider (not the vehicle manufacturer) that covers certain repairs to your vehicle. These warranties can be purchased at any time, even after your vehicle's original warranty has expired.
​
What do third-party warranties cover?
The coverage provided by third-party warranties can vary widely depending on the provider and the specific contract you purchase. Some warranties cover only certain parts of your vehicle, while others may provide more comprehensive coverage for a range of repairs.
In general, third-party warranties may cover:
Engine and transmission repairs
Electrical system repairs
Suspension and steering repairs
Brake system repairs
Heating and air conditioning repairs
​
What are the limitations of third-party warranties?
Unfortunately, third-party warranties often come with a number of limitations that can leave customers with unexpected expenses. Some of the most common limitations include:
Exclusions: Many warranties exclude certain parts or types of repairs from coverage. For example, a warranty might cover engine repairs, but not damage caused by overheating or neglect.
High deductibles: Some warranties require customers to pay a high deductible before coverage kicks in. This can make the warranty less cost-effective for customers.
Limited coverage: In many cases, third-party warranties only cover a portion of the cost of repairs, leaving customers to foot the bill for the rest.
​
Provider restrictions: Some warranties require customers to have their repairs done at specific repair shops or by specific mechanics. This can be inconvenient for customers and limit their options for repair.
Diagnosis and testing costs: Many third-party warranties do not cover the cost of diagnosing or testing a problem with your vehicle. This can add additional expenses to your repair bill.
​
Administration charges: Due to the large amount of extra work required to work with the aftermarket warranty, we charge additional administration fees for the extra time required dealing with aftermarket warranty companies.
​
What should I consider before purchasing a third-party warranty?
Before purchasing a third-party warranty, it's important to carefully review the terms of the contract and consider the following factors:
Exclusions and limitations: Make sure you understand what repairs are covered (and not covered) by the warranty before making a purchase.
Deductibles and co-payments: Consider the cost of the deductible or co-payment when evaluating the value of the warranty.
Provider reputation: Research the warranty provider to ensure they have a good reputation and a history of honoring their contracts.
Diagnosis and testing costs: Be aware that many warranties do not cover the cost of diagnosing or testing a problem with your vehicle, which can add to your repair costs.
​
Overall, third-party warranties can be a risky investment, as they often come with a number of exclusions and limitations that can leave customers with unexpected expenses. If you do decide to purchase a third-party warranty, be sure to carefully review the terms of the contract and choose a reputable provider to minimize your risk.
