Van Service Needed Warranty Advice Needed

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by Dirty Leeds, Apr 3, 2020.

  1. as above I really need a service on the van, but it’s still under manufacturers warranty with Vauxhall and am unsure if I need a garage that is vat registered or if genuine parts are needed to keep the warranty happy. Garages are shutting left right and centre up here, I usually have service at 10k but it’s probably 16k interval now and yes I know it’s 22k intervals but I don’t agree with those it feels wrong

    I’m prepared to travel for a service as I’ll incorporate with a job any help appreciated

  2. unless you have some kind of lease with some kind of clause stating it has to be serviced by a Vauxhall agent, which I doubt. any vat registered garage using after market parts will do fine. unless there has been any recent changes to block exemption.. most should have the means to print out a schedule of the particular service you are after too.

  8. Coulport? wow, you still glowing? any Siamese twins growing out the side of you that you were not aware you had before?
    bit of a detour. but if you are up for it, next week would be perfect. cos i'm on holiday. :D
    and joking aside, the joshter would be on it. top class. its just ticking over at the mo, and its not like he ever gave a ferk about the clock anyhoo. :D
    Thursday would be perfect. much cheapness.

  11. Appreciate it I can see if any work takes me north but probably difficult as things rarely work, I’ll have a look at jobs I know there’s a bike to bring down south from Scotland but it’s 1700cc no thank you

    Fella who owns the anchor inn owns garelochhead coaches always at end of the bar when I stayed there nice fella and nice staff back then, he had Colin McRae ex rally car at one point ...not skint, he has a hole in his living room wall so he can look through his kitchen at his boat on the loch funny

  15. yip, nice part of the world.
    somebody good will open down your way.
     
  16. Just use vauxhall parts and the right oil, warranty will still be covered.

  17. daughter used to work in warranty section for a local kia dealer and she when there said, it was okay as long as it was a vat reg garage and they had used original kia parts and both needed to be proven. Might be diffferent for vans and vauxhall?

  18. the dealers are all shut. they are up here anyhoo. I have two cars off the road in the workshop because I cant get dealer parts.
     
  19. Most are shut here , vw parts and Vauxhall parts are still open as are one or two of the local factors.
     
  20. the VW place might be getting a call then, what about Merc?
