Your Mazda warranty will cover many types of repairs, giving you an express ticket to excellent Mazda service. However, that coverage isn’t limitless. Protecting your car and your investment in it means there are a few things you should avoid during your lease or ownership experience.
Lacking Proof of Maintenance
The easiest way to void your Mazda warranty is to fail to keep to your maintenance schedule. Your maintenance schedule informs you as to when you should have specific services and inspections performed, and it is vital that you don’t take these as mere suggestions. When you pass the marker for service, save your receipts and have the maintenance documented in your Scheduled Maintenance Record.
Third-Party Repairs and Parts
You may be tempted to take your car to a non-dealership service center or to use aftermarket parts. If you do this and a future problem is found to stem from third-party parts or labor, you could void your warranty. It’s better to visit a Mazda service center than to take your chances.
Salvage Titles
Another way to immediately and completely void your Mazda’s warranty is by receiving a salvage title after a severe accident or natural disaster. An insurance company issues salvage titles if a vehicle receives damage that exceeds a certain percentage of the car’s value. Some cars with salvage titles are repaired and sold used, so it’s vital to inspect carefully—or buy from a dealer.
