🚗 Did you know you DON’T have to service your new car at the dealership to keep your warranty?
A lot of people are told they must return to the dealer for servicing or their new car warranty will be void. The truth is — that’s a myth.
Under Australian Consumer Law (ACL), you are free to have your vehicle serviced by any qualified, licensed repairer, including independent workshops like Macarthur Mechanical Repairs. As long as the service follows the manufacturer’s specifications and uses appropriate parts and fluids, your warranty remains valid.
According to the Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association:
✔ A dealer cannot require you to service your car at their workshop to maintain the manufacturer’s warranty.
✔ Independent workshops can stamp your logbook just like a dealership.
✔ Parts used simply need to be fit-for-purpose and meet manufacturer specifications.
At Macarthur Mechanical Repairs, we carry out logbook servicing to manufacturer standards using quality parts and diagnostic equipment so your vehicle stays compliant with warranty requirements.
We service all types of modern vehicles, including:
🔧 Petrol
🔧 Diesel
🔧 Hybrid
🔧 Electric Vehicles (EVs)
So if your new car is due for a service, you don’t have to drive back to the dealer — support your local workshop and keep your warranty intact.
