SLS Motors take care to select cars that are in good mechanical condition and look to ensure that there is a thorough maintenance record that meets or exceeds the manufacturers requirements.
Nonetheless, cars are a combination of complicated mechanical, electrical and electronic systems and occasionally they may go wrong leaving you with expensive bills. With SLS you can drive away with the total peace of mind that comes from our standard 6 month parts and labour warranty, included free of charge with every car. The actual detail of an individual warranty will vary depending on the age and value of the car.
