Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance on today’s vehicles is very important,
especially on new vehicles. If you have a new vehicle still
under factory warranty – there’s great news! You can take
all your vehicles to one location for service and your factory
warranty will remain in effect. How so? Simple – it’s the law.
In 1975, the U.S. Congress passed the Magnuson-Moss Warranty
Act – a federal law that governs consumer product warranties.
Among other things, Congress wanted to ensure that consumers
could get complete and straightforward information about warranty
terms and conditions.
In short, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act gives you these rights:
- Generally, your vehicle manufacturer's warranty cannot
require you to return to your auto dealer for vehicle
maintenance-or to only use the brand of replacement parts
offered by that dealer.
- By law, your vehicle manufacturer's warranty will stay
in effect when you have regularly scheduled maintenance
performed at a qualified facility, like our NAPA AutoCare
Center, that uses appropriate parts and procedures.
The bottom line is that your warranty on your new vehicle stays
in effect when a qualified NAPA AutoCare Center performs preventive maintenance.
