Many people believe that if you take your diesel truck to any auto repair shop other than the dealer you will void your extended warranty. This simply isn’t true. You can have the factory-scheduled maintenance and other services performed anywhere as long as you keep the documentation to prove you had the work done. Bringing your diesel truck or another diesel automobile to United Diesel Repair will not void your warranty, but the following things will.
Aftermarket Modifications
It might be tempting to trick out your diesel automobile, but aftermarket modifications will void the extended warranty. You cannot do anything that will directly affect how the diesel engine operates. For example, installing a turbo booster will void your warranty.
Fire/Flood Damage
Environmental damage, such as a flood, or fire damage will also void your extended warranty. If your vehicle is damaged in an earthquake, this, too, will void the warranty. As with any insurance, “acts of God” voids insurance or warranty coverage.
Odometer Tampering
Tampering with your odometer, such as disconnecting it, will also void the extended warranty. As you know, these warranties and the factory-scheduled maintenance required to keep them active are mileage-based. As such, you cannot tamper with the odometer.
Salvage Title
If you end up in a severe accident and your diesel truck is totaled, this will void the extended warranty. Once the vehicle is deemed irreparable, a salvage title will be issued for the automobile. Even if you buy the automobile back from the insurance company, the extended warranty is void.
Vehicle Misuse
Misusing your diesel truck or automobile will also render your extended warranty useless. This includes towing when the vehicle is not designed to tow, using the truck as an off-road vehicle, or anything else that is considered abusive to the automobile or out of the confines of the automobile.
Vehicle Neglect
Finally, neglecting the vehicle is a quick and easy way to render the extended warranty useless. There is a specific maintenance schedule to which you must stick in order to keep the warranty valid. If you neglect the work needed on the diesel truck, car, or SUV, your warranty will be voided and you will be unable to file a claim against it once the vehicle breaks down.
