Car Repair Warranty.
Posted 06/29/09
When you own a car you need to take it to a car repair shop for proper maintenance. Many people believe that car repair can be done only by a service that is authorized by the car manufacturer. Another misconception is that the warranty cannot be enforced if the car is not repaired by a repair service certified by the manufacturer. . The Magnuson Moss Warranty Act was passed so that the warranty cannot be voided by the manufacturer if the car is repaired by a local or unauthorized service shop and this principle was adopted by the Federal Trade Commission. Local independent service shops are affordable places to repair your car. You must see that you get the car maintained at a service shop on schedule and you must keep an accounts of all payments and keep bills and receipts in the event you need to enforce a warranty. The Car Care Council website and the Better Business Bureau will help you research the reputation of the car repair service before you entrust your car.
