Will doing my own maintenance void a warranty?
Performing your own car maintenance can potentially void your warranty. The ACCC has set out some minimum standards when it comes to warranties. The following three conditions must be met:
- The person performing the service must be a qualified mechanic
- All of the services must be performed to the manufacture’s specifications
- You need to use the appropriate quality parts; these don’t have to be genuine parts carrying the manufacturer’s brand, but they must be fit for purpose
