Do warranties carry over from UK to Ireland?
If I import a car from the UK, do any manufacturers provide the balance of the new car warranty once the car has been re-registered here if the car is still in warranty in UK?

Hi Simon,
You’ll need to check the fine print, but in most cases the warranty will be a pan-European one, so it should be honoured in any of that brand’s official dealerships here in Ireland. The only exceptions are where a manufacturer might have a different warranty in the UK compared to Ireland (such as Toyota) or where, in some cases, one or more years of the warranty are covered and backed by the local dealer group, rather than the manufacturer.
