Title: Do manufacturer parts need to be used for warranty coverage


What does it mean when manufacturers

require genuine parts to be used for warranty coverage?

When manufacturers require that only their parts be used for warranty coverage, it means that they are ensuring the quality of their product. By using manufacturer parts, they can guarantee that the product is working as intended and will last longer than if non-genuine parts were used. This requirement also ensures that any issues with the product are covered by the warranty instead of having to pay out-of-pocket.


Additionally, this requirement ensures that genuine parts are being used in order to keep up with technology and ensure the longevity of the product.

The ACCC's guidance says that provided you use quality parts, your car manufacturer's warranty won't be voided. If a non-genuine part is used it won't be covered under the manufacturer's warranty, but it would be covered under the warranty of the part's supplier and/or Australian Consumer Law. - Source.

The benefits of using manufacturer-specified parts

If you're looking for the best warranty coverage for your vehicle, using manufacturer-specified parts is the way to go. Manufacturer-specified parts are designed and tested to fit perfectly with your car, ensuring that you get the most out of your warranty coverage. Not only do these parts provide better performance and reliability, but they also help protect you from costly repairs in the future.

Understanding the difference between manufacturer warranty and consumer guarantee

Understanding the difference between a manufacturer warranty and an Australian consumer guarantee is important for any consumer. A manufacturer's warranty is a contract between you and the company that made the product, while an Australian consumer guarantee provides protection to consumers from faulty or defective products, while genuine parts provided by the manufacturer are usually covered under warranty.

A consumer guarantee is an automatic legal right given to consumers buying a product or service in Australia. When buying the product/service, consumers are entitled to a product/service that is safe and without fault, that looks acceptable and performs as expected. If the product/service does not, consumers have a right to a remedy which may include repair, replacement or refund.

A warranty is a voluntary promise or commitment made by the business selling the product/service to you. When you buy the product/service, the warranty becomes a right. It operates in addition to a consumer guarantee however, it cannot limit or exclude consumer guarantees. - Source.

When we say, we’ll give you “the good oil,” we’re talking about the Australian idiom. We decided to use this as our headline because we thought it was a funny play on words; in case you don’t know what that means, we’ve included a citation to an esteemed establishment explaining the Australian term to help our assimilating brothers and sisters.

It is difficult to know when it's time for an oil change, but there are some tell-tale signs that you can look out for. One of the most obvious signs is the color of your oil. If the oil in your car changes from a golden brown to black or dark brown, it’s time for an oil change. If you're unsure where to check your oil tank dipstick you can always pop in and see us at Dubbo Friends Auto Care. Another sign is when your engine makes a knocking sound or starts to shake. The sound and vibration from this means that there’s not enough lubrication in the engine, which can be caused by old or dirty motor oil. Leaving it to long can cause serious issues to your motor. The oil change is a necessary maintenance measure for your car. It is recommended to get an oil change every 3,000 kms. If you are not sure about how many kilometers you've traveled, it's best to go for an oil change every 3-6 months. The life of your engine depends on how well you take care of it. Regularly changing and checking the engine oil will ensure that the engine will last longer and run smoother. The benefits of changing the engine oil are: - Improved performance - Reduced emissions - Reduced risk of breakdowns - Reduced wear and tear on other parts of the car. If you'd like us to check your oil for you or do a service on your car feel free to call us on (02)58060360 or book in using any of the buttons on this site.
