    I know of dealers in Melbourne that are having cars reflashed at sale along with exhausts, cold air intakes.These are NEW cars, work that out the warranty guy?

    The attitude in Australia is very different to the US, I know of a dealer in Sydney that was offering new cars with everything from cold air intakes to turbo kits with full warranty retained.

    So Auto Dealer's(in Australia) are actually competition for Tuning workshop's or Tuner's...

    Dealers in the UK fit superchargers, exhaust and tunes. They probably go futher than anywhere else with mods..

    BUT it doesnt stop Vauxhall refusing warranty claims for transmissions etc.

    Ok, i talked to the gm rep when he was at the dealership the other day. He said that any programing even if it is back to stock will void the powertrain warranty. It will also void any other warranty if determind the after market program caused the problem.

    I know its kind of stupid but that came straight from the gm warranty auditer and the rep. Gm is cracking down on all warranty. Makes my job hard as a tech.

    Someone needs to demonstrate to these warranty reps that some factory released tunes have a lot of knock activity, then retune with no knock and dare them to void your warranty!

    Ive rebuilt a few lo k engines into strokers etc and when measuring pistons there can be 10 tho difference between them and im talking less than 20000km. And there worried about us tuning them !!.we probably save more engines than we damage id reckon.........Mind you i had a customer of mine with a 700 turbo clubby ,was contacted by holden last week and offered extended warranty he laughed at them and declined..(If they only knew lol)
