Sometimes quite a distance from a mechanic.. Makes it difficult to get a car to a service as soon as its required.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just sharing a workmates story.. My own cars always got services at 7500 intervals.. But it highlights to some how easy those aftermarket warranties can be voided.

Most things wear out.. not break. Play on words and they usually win.Seen it plenty of times.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
