    Is the car brand new? If so then she will get warranty whichever dealership she takes it to!
    If its used then i wouldnt kno the answer. I work in parts so i dont really get involved with that part of the proceedings.

    Dixons used car warrantys will be on a dodgy footing. They are underwritten by an external company but I would asume the agreement would be null n void as the company is in admin. Not 100% sure tho. New car as frumtarn said will be still covered. Worrying times in Dixon land. Simon Dixon had the right idea selling up and moving to Portugal!
