Write a request to a dealer or manufacturer for a courtesy car or reimbursement of hire costs while a warranty or recall repair keeps my car off the road. What I will tell you: dealer or manufacturer [DEALER_OR_MAKER], vehicle and registration [VEHICLE_DETAILS], repair and promised dates [REPAIR_DATES], days without the car [DAYS_WITHOUT_CAR], hire or taxi costs [TRANSPORT_COSTS], what my warranty or the recall notice says [WARRANTY_WORDING], what I want [DESIRED_REMEDY]. The letter should list the days without the car, calculate the costs with the arithmetic, quote the warranty or notice wording, and ask for a courtesy car now or reimbursement with a decision date. What to collect first: The warranty booklet, the repair order and promised dates, hire and taxi receipts, messages with the dealer. Realistic outcomes to ask for: A courtesy car, reimbursement of reasonable costs, a firm repair date or goodwill compensation. A typical reply: Dealers may say the warranty does not include hire cars; reply by asking for the exact wording and whether goodwill is possible [VERIFY]. For the courtesy car or hire cost during a long warranty repair, write the opening letter plus two follow-ups: a no-reply follow-up, and a response to an inadequate answer, each shorter than the one before. Return the letter itself plus a cover note of about 50 words, followed by an if-ignored ladder (ask the service manager, then the manufacturer's customer office, then a trade body or consumer agency), and an evidence checklist (warranty, repair order, receipts, messages). Email it as a PDF and paste the text into the message, then keep the thread and any automatic reply and follow up if no confirmation arrives. Keep my voice plain and personal, as a private person writing for myself, with no claim to legal expertise. Quote no statute or time limit from memory; stay within [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN] as given, and tell me to verify the exact law with a professional. Hold a level, reasonable tone, with no threats beyond lawful steps, use only the date in [DEADLINE], and flag what I cannot prove. None of this is legal advice.
