Will Your Warranty Still Be Good if You Use ToyoTechs ?

Did you know when your vehicle’s under warranty you don’t have to go to “the dealer” to have your car serviced ? It’s a false assumption that unless you use “the dealer” that your warranty can be voided. It is perfectly fine to have ToyoTechs perform your vehicle’s scheduled maintenance and repairs while under warranty.

According to the Car Care Council consumers are protected by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act that is enforced by the Federal Trade Commission. (FTC) It is illegal for a dealer to deny warranty because you had routine maintenance or repairs performed by another company.

All you need to do is maintain the service records on your vehicle making sure you are adhering to the manufacturer's scheduled service requirements. If a warranty claim happens the records you keep will provide proof that the scheduled required maintenance has been performed.

It would be the actual warranty work that you need be done at the dealer. An example would be if your transmission failed when you only have a few thousand miles on your vehicle. Your drive train usually is under warranty for 36,000 miles, however some manufacturers have upped the mileage to 100,000 miles. All new vehicles have very specific warranty coverage. This would be a case that the dealer has to be the one repairs the problem.

So don’t ever be afraid of bringing your your vehicle in for service and repairs. We always keep a record of your visit and give you a copy for your records.
