There are too many myths about car maintenance. And the one concerning the Manufacturer’s Warranty is widespread and misleading, not mentioning it is making you spend more than you should!<\/p>\n

You can take our word for it: doing your maintenance service at your dealer is not required to keep the Manufacturer\u2019s Warranty valid.<\/p>\n

“Yes, but my representative told me …”<\/h2>\n

You may have been told otherwise, but what should you trust most: the word of the car salesman or those of Article 52 of the Consumer Protection Act<\/a> (CPA)?<\/p>\n

The article clearly states that “The merchant or the manufacturer shall not make the validity of a conventional warranty conditional upon the consumer using a product which is identified by brand name […].”<\/p>\n

Dealers are therefore not entitled to restrict the choice of places where you can have your vehicle serviced.<\/p>\n

The only thing you need to do to keep your warranty in effect \u2013 and save your hard-earned dollars \u2013 is to do the proper maintenance services on a regular basis, a service offered in all our Certified Auto Repair.<\/p>\n

As Article 52 of the CPA dates from 1978, don\u2019t let an old myth dictate your choices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
