Other services available15
Other services availableLegal Inspection ServiceThe legal inspections must be carried out at the intervals
prescribed.Many countries have legal requirements obliging owner s to have their vehicle
tested at specified intervals for safety for the user an d for other traffic, as well
as ensuring that vehicle exhaust emissions meet the co untries' regulations.
These revisions must be overseen by officially certified c entres.
Your Authorised Service Centre can inform you about th e inspections required
by law, and can check your vehicle in the course of an Inspection Service. This
will save you both time and money.
The Authorised Service Centre can also carry out the in spections required by
law at the client's request.
Even if you do not wish to take advantage of this service and dec ide to take
your car to an officially certified centre for this check, we re commend that you
speak to the person in charge of your Authorised Ser vice Centre first.
This person will be able to inform you of any points that require attention so
that your car does not fail the test and have to be re-tested.Approved spare partsAll parts of your vehicle have been approved by SEAT , especially those parts
on which your safety depends. For this reason, the parts used in the
Programmed Inspection Services or in any vehicle repair must correspond
exactly to the manufacturer-defined r equirements. The approved SEAT spare parts have been designed especially for your ve
hicle. For this reason, we
recommend that Genuine approved SEAT spares are always u sed.
In the Authorised SEAT Service Centres you will find the most important
approved spare parts. If in an exceptional case, the nec essary parts are not in
stock, they can, in general, be obtained swiftly.
The SEAT Service Centres in the EU provide a 24 mont h warranty
1) for
Approved Spare parts from the date they are fitted or sold. It is therefore
advisable to retain the original invoice from the Autho rised Service Centre as
proof of the existing warranty.
More information about this may be obtained from your Au thorised Service
Centre.
Approved SEAT exchange partsThe approved SEAT exchange parts, conforming to th e manufacturer’s
requirements, constitute an additional service at your di sposal, offering you
the possibility to update entire assemblies, the mos t common being: the
short engine block, gearboxes, cylinder heads, control units, electrical
elements, etc.
Of course these are Approved parts and, as they have the same class as the
manufacturer parts, they share the same SEAT approved s pare parts warranty.
However, these parts are considerably cheaper as they are f actory-recondi-
tioned used parts. Keep the invoice for the approved S EAT exchange parts as
proof of the start of the existing warranty.1)The warranty is not available for all export mark ets. For more information, please ask
your Authorised SEAT Service Centre.

is provided from the date of delivery.
We hope that it is understood that natural wear as well as damage caused by
the abuse of vehicle performance through inappropri ate use or by unaccept-
able modifications are excluded from the warranty. The warranty is also
invalid when the vehicle is damaged by the use of part s and accessories that
are not SEAT approved or damage due to ignoring the maintenance and repair
requirements.
Paintwork and body warrantyAuthorised Service Centres provide a warranty on bodywork
and paintwork for vehicles sold in the EU.In addition to the warranty conditions for brand new S EAT vehicles (as
detailed in the purchase contract), a defined period warranty i s also provided
covering paintwork and bodywork rusting:•
3 year paintwork warranty following delivery date (ex cept the Alhambra
model).
•
12 years from the date of delivery against bodywork through-rusting (6
years for the Alhambra).
If, however, this type of damage should occur, it w ill be repaired free of charge
including parts and labour by any SEAT Authorised Service C entre in Europe.
Warranty claims will not be accepted in the following c ircumstances:
•
if damage is caused by external influence or carelessness , or
•
if damage to the body is not repaired promptly and appropriately in
accordance with the manufacturer's in structions using genuine, approved
spare parts and materials, or
•
if perforation rusting is caused by the use of non-genuine p arts and mate-
rials for body repairs and if these repairs were not c arried out in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
If the bodywork is repaired or painted, your Authorised Service Centre will
certify your warranty against through-rusting for the r epaired sections.
Approved SEAT exchange partsThe approved SEAT exchange parts, conforming to the manufacturer’s
requirements, constitute an additional service at your dis posal, offering you
the possibility to update entire assemblies, the most co mmon being: the
