Our Warranty

When you buy a pre-owned vehicle from SHARP Automotive, you receive a complimentary 3-month Formula X warranty along with roadside assistance. While our cars undergo thorough preparation to ensure high quality, it's natural for issues to arise as vehicles age and accumulate mileage. During your initial three months of ownership, you benefit from the superior coverage of our Formula X warranty, which offers the best protection Autotrust has to offer. Additionally, you have the option to extend your warranty by purchasing an additional 9 months at the time of handover, providing you with coverage for a full year. For complete details on what is included and excluded from the warranty coverage, please refer to the attached document for your review.
