BLOCK EXEMPTION AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR
YOUR MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY
.jpg)
In the 1990's there was an investigation into Cartels, restrictive practices and anti-competition tactics by major manufacturers in many types of business. The law was subsequently changed to prevent these practices and open up the market.
The motor industry was given a temporary reprieve from these new laws - this is known as the Block Exemption.
In October 2003 the Block Exemption was lifted despite strenuous lobbying by the motor industry.
The outcome of this is that your car can be serviced wherever you choose, as long as the manufacturers recommendations are followed. Even if you do not use a main dealer the manufacturer's or used car warranty cannot be invalidated.
If anybody such as a dealer salesperson suggest that a vehicle is devalued because it has not been dealer maintained they could be breaking the law!
PKF Engineering carry out all work as per the manufacturer's recommendations using genuine manufacturers parts which will ensure the validity of your warranty.
