Hello, I need your thoughts and views. My MH base vehicle has a manufacturer warranty of 2 years or 18000 miles. The 2 years is almost up and it has only done 7000 miles. There is nothing wrong with the vehicle and I can take it to a franchise dealer 25 miles away for its first service. However, down the road, 1 mile away, is an independent garage that services campers and large vehicles and has all the facilities with computerisation and can check on all vehicles details via their vin number.

With a new car you always take it to a dealer to keep up the warranty, but with campers what do people do? I will take it to one of them if only for an oil change and to get the 'book' stamped - but which one?

Regards

Does that mean that you have gone nearly 2 yrs without a service ? I am not sure as you don't specify the type of vehicle, but isn't it every 12 mths or so many miles ?

An oil change every year and a brake inspection is essential anyway in my eyes regardless of any manufacturers schedules.

as i understand it to be is , a NEW vehicle can be serviced in any garage that is VAT registered as long as genuine parts are used .  but it should be serviced at least every 12 months ie oil and filter changed . i agree with milemuncher a brake inspection should be done at least once a year but manufacturers seem to have a very high mileage recorded before looking at them ie 20 - 30000 miles.

keith i think you could have a problem with the warrantee if something does go wrong as you have missed the first service in the first year as i see it .
