The Australian Government and ACCC introduced a mandatory Motor Vehicle Service and Repair Information Sharing Scheme on 1 July 2022, enabling independent mechanics to access the same technical data as dealerships, giving car owners the freedom to choose their preferred repairer.

Confirming that you are not required to return your car to the dealer for servicing. Despite anything you may be told about warranties, your rights are safeguarded under Australian Consumer Law (ACL). Manufacturer warranties are an addition to the consumer guarantees already provided by law.

You can have your vehicle serviced by an independent mechanic, such as the fully qualified team at Daniello's Automotive Centre, without affecting your statutory warranty rights.

Get in touch with Daniello's Automotive Centre to discuss your new car servicing needs. You can call us, book a service online using the convenient booking form below or visit us at our Dandenong workshop.
