As long as your vehicle is serviced according to the manufacturer’s schedule using correct parts, fluids, and procedures, your warranty remains valid.

MAINTAINING YOUR WARRANTY

To maintain your vehicle’s warranty, servicing must be carried out by a licensed and qualified mechanic - whether that’s at a dealership or an independent workshop. When we complete your service, we stamp and sign your physical logbook and provide a detailed invoice outlining exactly what was done. This not only proves the work was completed by a qualified professional, but also ensures your logbook service history stays up to date, essential for maintaining warranty compliance. Unfortunately, getting your car serviced by a friend or an unlicensed “car guy” won’t count. Even with the best intentions, servicing must meet manufacturer standards and be performed by certified professionals to protect your warranty.

To maintain your warranty, two key things must happen: Timely Servicing: Your vehicle must be serviced at the correct intervals - either by time or by kilometres, whichever comes first. Delays outside of the recommended service window can risk voiding your warranty. Following the Manufacturer’s Schedule: Every service item listed in your vehicle’s logbook must be completed at the appropriate interval, as outlined by the manufacturer. At Barr Automotive, we help take the guesswork out of this. You'll receive SMS reminders when your service is due, and we check every visit against the manufacturer's specifications - including what’s needed now and what’s coming up next.

To keep your warranty intact, parts used during servicing must meet or exceed the manufacturer's quality standards - but they don’t need to be genuine OEM parts. High-quality aftermarket components are often just as reliable (if not more so) and can be a more cost-effective choice. At Barr Automotive, we only use trusted, high-grade parts that meet manufacturer specifications and include a minimum 12-month warranty for your peace of mind.
