Seen it happen under SOR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmine Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 With some irony you can have your Porsche serviced by any VAT registered garage that uses genuine parts *while* the car is under the 3 year new car warranty but continuing to do so under the extended warranty would invalidate the extended warranty. It was the EU that forced car manufacturer to allow independent garages to service cars still under their new car warranty so long as they used the correct parts. The extended warranty is actually an insurance policy and this allows the seller of the policy to set their own rules - one of which is that the car must be serviced by an OPC.

r1flyguy Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) Hong Kong is a bit backwards in a lot of things but this article is something they need applause for… just a shame the brand that needs this imposing isn’t present in the list https://www.thestandard.com.hk/breaking-news/section/4/195683/Competition-Commission-accepts-commitments-in-car-distributors-warranty-probe Edited October 10, 2022 by r1flyguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
