Warranties and Routine Maintenance

[Husker Soze]

Greetings everyone!

A lot of you folks may already know this...but for the others that don't, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (enforced by the FTC) makes it Illegal for manufacturers or dealers to void your warranty or deny coverage under your warranty simply because someone other than the dealer did the work.

Your can read more info here on the FTC Consumer Information page.

Thanks for the info AND that link.
One important paragraph is this:

Keep all your service records — no matter who does the service. This includes oil changes, tire rotations, belt replacement, new brake pads, and inspections. Create a file to keep track of repairs — it will come in handy if you have to use your warranty. If you ever have a warranty claim and it appears that you didn’t maintain your vehicle, your claim might be denied.
