Do you have to get all work done by a the dealership to keep the warranty in effect?

I understand stuff like engine and such, but what about scheduled maintenance, oil changes, and tire rotations? The dealership wants to charge me $20 to rotate my tires and NTB or Discount Tire will do it for free!|||Warranty in effect as long as you get a receipt (and keep it to show proof) of services being done at the proper interval.





Make sure your work order shows the mileage that the vehicle was serviced at.|||No work does not have to be done at the dealership.


You must keep all of the receipts for the work and keep accurate reconds when it was done.|||If you have all receipts with regular oil changes, the original warranty should be still in effect. If the dealer finds the problem was caused by improper repair or not original parts, they can refuse warranty for certain components.|||Nope it's law that unless the manufacturer does it for free, all required maintainance can be performed anywhere you wish as long as you have recipts that show date/milage and there's no evidence of fraud on the repeair orders (such as repair orders with numbers pretty close to each other for work done months apart) It's called the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act





However, if the work done by others does cause a problem that can be linked to the other shops work, then technically the other shop is liable for the damage, not the manufacturer|||Absolutely not. You can do it any where or even your self if you keep reciepts and document all work done.
