The law is pretty much the same here.Major Softie wrote:In the U.S., no such things can be required, but that's not the case in all countries. Even here, if you don't do the required service, and something breaks, if it can be blamed on the lack of service, they can deny that warranty claim, but it doesn't void the whole warranty.
Keep in mind, service advisors are trained (and expected) to sell you on the complete inspection as per the maintenance schedule.
Even if you just go in for a warranty power window motor replacement or other 'maintenance unrelated' matter, they try hard to sell you the complete scheduled maintenance package, its their job. No law prevents them from 'suggesting' that you may have warranty claim problems for future malfunctions if you refuse the full service.
If you experience any type of failure soon after the warranty expires, you'll have a much better chance at goodwill warranty coverage if all your inspections and maintenance schedules were performed by a dealer.
