I am often asked if you will void your new car warranty if you don’t have your car serviced with the dealer where the car was purchased. Simply, the answer is NO! This is one of the greatest myths about new car servicing.
Fact: Independent Mechanic’s do not void the warranty if they use warrantable products during the service and the car is serviced by a qualified Mechanic.
Fact: Allan Stratton Automotive use warrantable products and parts.
Fact: Allan Stratton Automotive Mechanics are highly qualified.
Fact: Australian Consumer Law outlines that consumers have the right to choose their authorised car repairer.
I recently found information outlined on the Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association website which dispels the myths regarding warranties and log book servicing.
- The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission released a statement “re-affirming that car owners can get their vehicle serviced by an independent repairer, using “appropriate quality” parts and qualified staff, and still maintain their manufacturer’s or extended warranty coverage”.
- “The reality is that consumers have always had statutory rights under Australian law to ensure that their manufacturers’ warranties remain valid when the vehicles are serviced by independent workshops using fit for purpose parts and qualified technicians”.
The ASA Team want you know that it is your right to choose where you get your car serviced. We whole heartedly support the statement made by AAAA’s Executive Director Stuart Charity, “We want to ensure that Australian car owners retain the right to choose their preferred repairer based on proximity, service, price and relationship”.
At Allan Stratton Automotive, we take the pain out of regularly servicing. Maintaining your car is important and we strive to make this experience as easy and effortless as possible. We offer courtesy pick up and drop off and we are open extended hours to suit your busy lives.
