🚘 Will My New Car Warranty Be Void if I Service My Car at Speedy Spanners?

​

Short answer: No – your warranty remains protected.

Having your new car serviced at Speedy Spanners will not void your new car warranty – as long as it’s serviced by a qualified mechanic and in line with the manufacturer’s specifications.

​

This is supported by the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC), which confirmed after a 12-month investigation into new car retailing that independent workshops can carry out logbook servicing without affecting your statutory or manufacturer warranty.

​

✅ What the ACCC Says:

 

“A manufacturer’s warranty is not void simply because servicing is carried out by an independent repairer.”
— ACCC Report on New Car Retailing

According to the ACCC:

• You have the right to choose your own qualified repairer.

• Logbook services must follow the manufacturer’s specifications.

• Parts used must be suitable and fit for purpose.
