Car care advice

Will a mobile car service affect my manufacturer warranty?

Short answer: usually not, as long as the service follows your car’s schedule, uses parts of matching quality and is recorded. Our servicing follows manufacturer schedules, so your manufacturer warranty stays intact. We fit OE-quality parts, can stamp your service book on request and always issue a digital job sheet.

You don’t have to use a main dealer for routine servicing

In the UK, competition rules for the motor trade mean a manufacturer generally can’t make your warranty depend on having routine servicing done only at its own dealers. What usually matters is how the work is done, not where:

  • the service is carried out at the intervals in your car’s schedule;
  • it uses parts of matching quality to the originals; and
  • there’s a record of the work.

The flip side is that a manufacturer can still turn down a warranty claim if the fault was caused by work that wasn’t done properly, or by a part from elsewhere that failed. The exact conditions are in your warranty booklet, so it’s worth a quick look before you book. For the background, see the Competition and Markets Authority’s guidance on motor vehicle agreements on GOV.UK.

What still goes to a main dealer

Repairs paid for under the manufacturer’s warranty, and safety recalls, are normally handled by the manufacturer’s own dealer network. If you think a part has failed under warranty, contact a dealer first. Routine servicing is different: that’s the work you can have done at home.

How a WeFix mobile service keeps your warranty intact

  • Manufacturer schedules. Every car service we carry out follows your car’s manufacturer schedule.
  • OE-quality parts. The parts we fit carry their own manufacturer’s warranty.
  • A record every time. We stamp your service book on request and always issue a digital job sheet.
  • Qualified, insured mechanics. Our mechanics are qualified to NVQ Level 3 equivalent and fully insured, and the team includes manufacturer training with Volkswagen Group, Citroën and BMW.
  • Our own warranty too. Our work comes with a 24-month / 26,000-mile workmanship warranty.

Which service does your car need?

We offer an Oil Change, an Interim Service and a Full Service, our annual service with 50+ checks. Your car’s schedule says what’s due. Enter your reg on our booking page to see the price of each for your car before you book.

Keep your records together

Whoever services your car, keep the paperwork: the stamped book or digital record, and the job sheet or invoice. It shows the work was done on time if you ever need to make a warranty claim, and it helps when you come to sell the car.
