In turn, this allows us to undertake servicing of most new cars exactly to the manufacturers specification without invalidating your warranty.<\/p>\n<p>If non-dealer servicing is done by the book as specified, there should be little difference in the chargeable time. However, the difference in cost will be in the labour rate, which for FirstCall MOT and Service Centre Ltd is significantly less than a Main Dealer.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div id=\"sc_title_1829104978\"\n\t\tclass=\"sc_title sc_title_default\"><h2 class=\"sc_item_title sc_title_title sc_align_center sc_item_title_style_default sc_item_title_tag\">The Law<\/h2><\/div><!-- \/.sc_title -->[vc_column_text]The European Parliament passed a law some time ago called the \u2018Block Exemption Act&#8217; and this dictates that manufactures cannot void warranties if you have your car serviced to their specification at a non-franchise garage.
