Thorough Logbook Servicing in Tamworth

Your car is generally one of the most significant investments you will ever make, so it’s important to ensure you use professionals for maintenance and repair work.

What you may not realise, and despite what your dealership may say (either verbally or within an owner's manual), you are not required to service your car at a dealership. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC)** states: “Provided you service the vehicle in accordance with [manufacturer] requirements, the warranty will remain valid. If the manufacturer's warranty states that the vehicle can only be serviced by an authorised dealer, this may raise concerns under the Competition and Consumer Act.”

As long as your service representatives are licensed repairers, your warranty is not affected by law. While a manufacturer can have specific requirements in its warranty terms, they cannot require you to service your vehicle at or through a dealership to keep your warranty intact.
