A persistent myth among Mazda owners and car owners in general is that having your vehicle serviced outside of an authorized dealership will automatically void your warranty. Not only is this not true, the Federal Trade Commission has taken action against dealerships and manufacturers that spread this misinformation. Here at Scott Mazda, we’re setting the record straight about this Mazda service myth.
MAZDA Warranty Myths Debunked
You have the right to service your Mazda car wherever you choose, be it an independent mechanic, a national service chain, a dealership, or even your own garage. Similarly, you have the right to use any Mazda parts you choose, whether those are OEM parts or aftermarket parts. Either way, your warranty remains valid.
The Caveat
While using outside service or aftermarket parts will not void your warranty, it can impact coverage for future repairs. If a dealership determines that a problem stems from a faulty aftermarket part or work performed by a non-Mazda technician, they are not obligated to cover the service under warranty.
