COVID-19 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
To support you in finding an answer we easily, we have detailed a number of frequently asked questions we are receiving in regards to the current Covid-19 crisis.
I am a Key Worker and my car needs a service/repair, who should I contact?
In the first instance, please contact your local Dealer. If you cannot get through or you know that they are closed, please contact our Customer Service team who will do their best to find another Dealer for you or will arrange transport where required.
They can be contacted between the hours of 8.30am and 5.30pm Monday to Friday and can be reached on 08085 011959 option 3 or via email customerservices@suzuki.co.uk
I can’t get hold of my Dealer but my car needs a service, what should I do?
Your local Dealer may be operating a reduced service to keep Key Worker vehicles on the road and where your Dealer is open, they will be best placed to advise you. If your Dealer is closed and your vehicle requires a service by either time or mileage, during these exceptional circumstances Suzuki will extend the interval by either 3 months or 3,000 miles (whichever occurs soonest) whilst not affecting your vehicle warranty.
If you are operating your vehicle beyond a scheduled service we advise that you pay closer attention to key areas such as Oil Level, Coolant Level, Tyre Pressures and Tyre Condition. There are many tutorial videos that can be found at https://cars.suzuki.co.uk/owners/using-your-car that may help.
We would always recommended taking a look at your owners manual for any queries you may have. To make this easier, they are all online, search for yours here https://cars.suzuki.co.uk/owners/using-your-car/owners-handbooks/
My Dealer is closed but my car needs an MOT, what should I do?
The most up to date advice can be found on the governments DVSA website, there is currently an extension for 6 months for affected vehicles, but you must ensure that your vehicle is safe to drive.
Advice for Northern Ireland, Channel Islands and Isle of Man may be different, please consult the relevant authority.
I have AA Suzuki Assistance Lite which is due to expire soon but I can’t book in for a Service to re-activate it, can you extend the cover until I can?
Yes, the cover will be extended for you by a further 3 months. This also applies if you have upgraded your cover.
Can I get any help with my Suzuki Finance payments?
If your income has been affected by the disruption from coronavirus, Suzuki Finance have a range of options to help you including payment deferrals and other additional support if you need it. If you need a payment holiday, you may be able to defer your payments for 1 month or for 3 months. In most cases, you can make your request online using ‘Manage My Account’ https://www.suzukifinance.co.uk. Further support information is available on their website: https://www.blackhorse.co.uk/contact/coronavirus-support
My car needs a repair which may be covered under my manufacturer warranty which is about to expire, what should I do?
Please make sure that you log any concern with Suzuki Customer Services so that we can ensure when Dealers re-open they can prioritise vehicles according to when the concern was raised.
This will also ensure that any manufacturer warranties that may be expiring during the period of lockdown can be maintained.
