You are not required to take your vehicle to the dealer in order to maintain your warranty. A warranty cannot require the use of a specific brand of replacement parts offered by the dealership. No matter the brand of vehicle you drive - we can help protect you and your vehicle’s warranty. By using quality auto parts and service, our skilled, ASE Certified Technicians can perform all of your vehicle’s maintenance and repairs without voiding your warranty.
Q: Do I have to use the manufacturer’s original equipment parts to keep my warranty valid?
A: Legally, automakers cannot specify which parts are used to complete your vehicle’s service. You may use any brand-name quality part to replace fan belts, hoses, brakes, exhaust or chassis parts and more. We typically recommend factory parts, however they do not have to come from the dealership. You may request an aftermarket part, however it may carry a more limited warranty through Import Services.
Q: What do I have to do to keep my vehicle’s warranty in effect?
A: Make sure your vehicle is serviced at the intervals specified in your owner’s manual or warranty booklet and keep clear records of your vehicle’s maintenance. If you need help understanding your service manual, ask our qualified Service Manager for more information.
