Is this true?- "Intermediate Service: This service is performed at the 15,000 mile mark and then again at 30,000-mile intervals. According to Honda, this is the minimum requirement to maintain your new car warranty?

Thanks to all - p

 

I've heard that it is illegal in the US for stealerships to require service performed at the dealer. As long as you get it done by a certified mechanic with stamps and paper receipt you should be fine if it's ever questioned by Honda.

 

I don't see why you can't do the work yourself. As long as you keep receipts of what parts/fluids you used. Put it this way: do you think Honda techs take their Hondas in to the dealer to get serviced? Or do you think they do the work themselves? What about retired Honda techs?

 

having worked for a dealership no they do not take their cars in most of them will do oil changes and what not on their breaks or any down time

 

They can only require thatit IF its free at the dealer. Otherwise they can onlyrequire that it MUST BE DONE, SOMEWHERE.

If you do the work yourself, its a little harder to prove when you only have receipts for the parts. Thats only a problem if you make a warranty claim for some item that can be caused by NOT doing that particular service.
