Voiding of warranty on car

COMMENT POSTED IN MY BLOG

I wonder how distributor workshop void warranty if car is not repaired in their workshop after an accident. Can warranty on engine be voided when repair is only on bumper? Wonder if any motorist's warranty has been penalised this way so far.

REPLY:

The distributor state in their warranty, that the warranty is voided if any repair is done by a third party workshop.

I believe that the distributor will not be able to get away with voiding the warranty, when minor repairs are carried out at third party workshop which did not affect the parts of the vehicle that are covered by the warranty.

Although the distributor "threatens" to void the warranty, I believe that they have not done so for minor repairs. They have to act fairly and take care of their customer relations.

I agree with Mr Tan's reply.

Most distributors do not void the warranty for minor repairs.

This was compared by Mr Tan's claims mgr.
