This is a question we as a company get asked more and more. A lot of people are under the impression that when a vehicle is under manufacturers warranty that they have to take their vehicle back to the main dealer (i.e Audi, Volkswagen, Seat or Skoda)
The fact is you do not.
Prior to 2003, automobile owners in the EU region risked nullifying their vehicle warranties
when the vehicles were serviced or repaired in workshops not belonging to the vehicle
manufacturer or its dealers. This barrier was broken in October 2003, when the European
Commission (EC) passed the Block Exemption Regulation law allowing vehicle owners
the freedom of having their servicing and repairs done at their chosen workshop.
On 1st June 2010 European Union legislation, ‘Block Exemption Regulations 461/2010
came into force. This BER certainly gives the motorist far more freedom in deciding
who will repair or service their vehicles, as well as the flexibility and benefit to reduce
the amount spent on servicing
LVS ONLY fit genuine O.E filters to keep your vehicles warranty. The only thing LVS cannot do is carry out any warranty work. this unfortunately has to be done by the main dealer.
