Tip from J&C Auto Service, Downers Grove

Have you heard of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act? Most consumers have not.
The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act ensures that you can to bring your car to our shop because we are able to keep a warranty valid and up to date, just like a dealership does.
We can do maintenance and repairs on your vehicles according to the manufacturer's schedule and that, when we do that work, the warranty is still good. One of the act's main points is that the manufacturers can't mandate where people get their service work done. This falls under a portion of the act that refers to "tie in sales" which are sales that are tied in to a warranty - as in "your vehicle warranty is only good if you buy maintenance service from the dealer." That is a no-no according to the law. The only time a manufacturer can mandate where someone gets warranty work done is IF the manufacturer can PROVE that they, or their representatives are the ONLY place that a particular service can be done properly.
We just want to remind you that J&C Auto Service's work can maintain your vehicle warranty.
