Does the Sale of Goods Act cover repairs?

The Sale of Goods Act primarily focuses on the sale of goods and the rights and obligations of the parties involved in such transactions. Its central aim is to ensure that goods are sold in a condition that meets certain standards and specifications at the time of sale. However, the Act does not cover services, which includes repairs. This means that when it comes to repair work—whether for vehicles or other goods—the Sale of Goods Act does not apply.

In the context of automotive sales and repairs, this distinction is crucial. While the sale of a vehicle would be governed by the Act, any additional services, such as repairs or maintenance done after the sale, fall under a different legislative framework, often covered by consumer protection laws or service agreements irrespective of the Sale of Goods Act.

This understanding clarifies that the Act’s role is limited to transactions directly involving the purchase of goods, thus reinforcing that repairs are not included within its scope.
