I'm a new vehicle owner, can I take my new car to have a service at an independent garage?

The short answer is. Yes. Yes you can.
It’s a question that comes up quite a lot in our garage as many people are advised by dealerships when they buy a new car that it should only be brought back to the main dealer as it may effect their warranty.
In fact, in a recent survey by Halfords, it was found that almost half of UK motorists that were questioned were unaware that they could go to an independent garage.
A ruling in October 2003, saw the EU introduce Block Exemption Regulation.
The legislation prevents a vehicle’s warranty being invalidated if serviced at a non-franchise dealer, provided manufacturer-approved parts are used.
