What is a Manufacturer service?

As previously mentioned, keeping up to date with your car servicing is very important in preserving your manufacturer warranty.

Anyone buying a new car will find that they get a minimum three years’ warranty and, in order to keep it valid, you must take your car in for its annual manufacturer service at an approved service centre.

This enables manufacturer-trained technicians to check the car over in a thorough manner and to manufacturer standards, ensuring no components are wearing out and could cause issues when out on the road.

Not only that, but when replacing consumables as part of a manufacturer service, the technicians will only use materials approved by the manufacturer in question - as well as only using techniques they have been instructed to use as part of their training.

You can continue to keep up to date with manufacturer servicing beyond your warranty period, helping your car obtain a Full Service History (FSH) that will pay off when you look to part exchange or sell your vehicle.
