When you’re investing in dual control pedals for your teaching car, the quality of the installation matters just as much as the quality of the product itself. A poorly fitted system can create safety risks, lead to premature wear, and leave you out of pocket further down the line. That’s why the guarantee behind the fitting work is one of the most important things to look for when choosing a dual control fitter — and it’s something we take seriously at Midlands Dual Control Fitters.
Every He-Man dual control system we supply and fit comes with a lifetime guarantee on the fitting. But what does that actually mean in practice? Here’s a clear breakdown.
The Lifetime Guarantee on Fitting
The lifetime guarantee on fitting is exactly what it sounds like. When we install a He-Man dual control system in your vehicle, the quality of our installation work is guaranteed for the entire time you own that vehicle. If there is ever an issue that relates directly to the fitting work itself, get in touch with us and we will resolve it.
This guarantee applies to the original vehicle fitted and the original purchaser only. It is non-transferable, meaning it does not carry over if the vehicle is sold or ownership changes. If you’re moving to a new teaching car and want dual controls installed there, that new installation would carry its own lifetime guarantee from the point of fitting.
If you have any questions about what the guarantee covers in your specific situation, the best thing to do is get in touch with us directly and we’ll give you a straight answer.
The Manufacturer’s Warranty on He-Man Cables
Separate to our lifetime guarantee on the fitting, He-Man cables are covered by a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty. It’s important to understand the distinction between the two:
- Lifetime guarantee — covers the fitting work carried out by Midlands Dual Control Fitters
- 1-year manufacturer’s warranty — covers He-Man cables specifically, as provided by the He-Man manufacturer
Cable wear over time is a normal part of regular professional use — dual control pedals get used every working day across hundreds of lessons. If a cable develops a fault or requires replacement within the 1-year warranty period, contact us and we will get it sorted. If you have a query outside that period or something you’re unsure about, don’t hesitate to reach out — we’d always rather you ask than leave a problem unaddressed.
What the Guarantee and Warranty Cover
Both the lifetime guarantee and the manufacturer’s warranty cover parts and fitting. As with most guarantees of this kind, there are some exclusions — for example, pedal rubbers are not covered as these are considered consumable items subject to regular wear through daily use.
Rather than list every detail here — since specific terms can evolve over time — we’d always recommend getting in touch if you have a specific question about coverage. We’re straightforward to deal with and would rather give you an accurate answer directly than have you rely on something that may not apply to your situation.
How to Make a Claim
In the unlikely event that you need to make a claim under the guarantee or manufacturer’s warranty, the process is simple. Contact Midlands Dual Control Fitters directly and one of our technicians will arrange to assess and resolve the issue. The easiest way to reach us is via WhatsApp or through our contact page, and we’ll take it from there.
We want every instructor who uses our service to have complete peace of mind — not just on fitting day, but throughout the time they own and teach in that vehicle.
Why the Guarantee Matters When Choosing a Fitter
Not all dual control fitters operate to the same standard, and not all of them back their work with a meaningful guarantee. For driving instructors, this matters for several reasons.
Your teaching vehicle is your livelihood. A dual control system that fails, works loose, or causes problems mid-lesson is not just an inconvenience — it’s a safety issue. Choosing a fitter who stands behind their work with a clear, documented guarantee gives you the confidence that if anything ever goes wrong with the fitting, you’re not left to deal with it alone or at your own cost.
There are cheaper options out there. But a lower upfront price that comes without proper guarantee protection can cost significantly more in the long run if something goes wrong and you have no recourse. Our 5-star rating from real driving instructors across the UK reflects the standard we consistently deliver — and the confidence that comes from knowing the work is guaranteed.

A Note on the Mobile Service
Our mobile fitting service means we carry out all installations at your chosen location — your home, your workplace, or wherever works best for you. In line with He-Man’s fitting instructions, the installation process may require minor cutting of carpet or sound insulation, and some trim pieces may need to be temporarily removed during fitting. Everything is returned to you once the job is complete.
If you are fitting dual controls to a vehicle that is not registered as a driving school car, it’s worth informing your insurer beforehand as a precaution. If you’re unsure about anything ahead of your fitting appointment, just ask us — we’re happy to talk you through what to expect.
