The Office of Fair Trading has confirmed that new car warranties are clear and fair. Manufacturers were quick to remove franchised dealer servicing as a condition on some new car warranties after the OFT raised concerns at the end of last year. Today OFT issued a statement saying, "The remaining manufacturers whose new car warranties included servicing ties have all now lifted their servicing restrictions".
