Extended warranty SLT A77

[dikda639042]

I am on the point of puchasing a SLT A77 with grip etc to use with Minolta lenses and have tried without success to enquire about extended warranty costs and availability. The Sony site is not helpful and refers to serVIPlus about which I can find nothing useful. I would be grateful for some guidance please.

Hi dikda, welcome to the Sony Forums

The extended warranty is normally available when you buy the camera. You can also apply for the serVIPlus policy within a limited time following your purchase. There's a brief mention of this at the bottom of the following page: http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/warranty

Cheers

Hi Mick

Many thanks for your prompt reply. I had alreadyspotted that entry but I cannot find a route to "read more" about it. It is almost as though Sony are not keen on selling it but perhaps I am being perverse  and displaying my aged intolerance. I have also just raised the query with WEX who is my supplier of choice but obviously have not had a reply yet although they are normally fairly prompt. Thank you for your help anyway

Regards

Dikda

I am also looking to buy extended warranty for SLT-A99. I couldn't find the information anywhere.

Please help.

Hello everyone

Aside from the link that has been posted above by Mick2011, it may be necessary to contact Sony Customer Services directly for more information about the Extended Warranty product. Their contact details are on the following forum page:

Thanks,

Hi,I also tried for extended warranty but couldn,t get any further than Servplus....:smileyconfused:

I have contacted UK support and was told that there is no extended warranty available for SLT-A77 or SLT-A99 or any SLT cameras.

Please some one advise if any other alternative available.

you can always buy a MACK warranty via Calumet or similar.

I would prefer a Sony extended warranty as available in the US but if they don't offer them on Alphas here ....

Hello again everyone

I am aware that Domestic and General offer extended warranties in the UK for electrical goods including cameras. However, I cannot say that I have used them for any services in the past - it may be worth getting in touch with them by Googling 'Domestic and General' (when I have worked in retail in the past, this company was the extended warranty partner).

Like I say, I obviously cannot recommend them - however it may be worth giving them a call for more information.

Thanks,

Simon

Hi there,

If you specifically want a Sony extended warranty, these are available through a Sony centre if you have one nearby. Alternatively, you could try giving one a call. I'm sure they'd be able to do it over the phone.

PS - It doesn't matter where you purchased the product.
