RE: @nolnocluap's What Upsets Me About Series - #1: Modern Car "Servicing"
I was under the impression that you could service yourself a car which is under warranty. Just keep the receipts.
If you do however work on your cars (and everyone does it for different reasons) you could get a used car in good shape and save a bunch.
Sometimes working on newer cars does require you buying some specialty tools, but in my experience you often recover the cost on the first repair.
Happy motoring and thanks for sharing;D
Hi @johnd89. Unfortunately the warranty requires "log book servicing" to be performed by "authorised" providers. What classifies them as authorised seems a little subjective to me.
Your suggestion about getting an older car to maintain myself is actually something we've just done this week. So far we're very happy with it and even with the increased costs associated with an aged vehicle (although that may not hold true any more), I'm hoping the overall experience will be an improvement. Thanks!
Wishing you all the best with your car;D
