Do I have to service my car at the dealership to keep the warranty?
No. You can have your vehicle serviced at a qualified independent workshop like Murphy's Motors and Tyres without voiding your warranty.
Will using non-genuine parts void my warranty?
Not if the parts used meet or exceed manufacturer specifications. We use quality components that comply with warranty requirements.
How often should I service my new car?
This depends on the manufacturer’s schedule, usually every 6–12 months or a set number of kilometres (e.g., 10,000km or 15,000km). We follow your specific vehicle’s service intervals.
Will my logbook be stamped?
Yes. We complete and stamp your logbook according to manufacturer requirements.
Is a new car service cheaper than dealership servicing?
In many cases, yes. Independent workshops often provide more competitive pricing while maintaining the same warranty protection standards.
What happens if I miss a scheduled service?
Missing a service can affect warranty claims and may lead to mechanical issues. If you’ve fallen behind, we can assess your vehicle and help get your servicing back on track.
