Car Care, Servicing & Repair FAQs
Here are a few FAQs that we get asked on a regular basis.
If you have a question contact us and we will try our best to answer you.
You have the freedom to decide where and by whom your car is serviced. In the UK, car manufacturers are obliged to provide a minimum two-year unlimited mileage warranty on all new cars, irrespective of ownership changes. Importantly, they cannot compel buyers to use their official dealership network for servicing.
Consequently, manufacturers are prohibited from voiding a warranty simply because a car was serviced elsewhere, under the European Union Block Exemption legislation. This legislation, though the UK has exited the EU, remains in effect.
However, manufacturers retain the authority to establish a servicing schedule that owners must follow. Therefore, if you opt for an independent mechanic instead of the main dealer, ensure your service book is stamped, maintain records of all work performed, and insist on approved parts and lubricants as per the manufacturer’s specifications.
No, it’s not against the law to skip servicing your car. However, regular maintenance is vital to keep your vehicle safe and reliable. Ignoring service intervals could lead to costly issues later on.
