You Have a Choice When It Comes to Vehicle Maintenance
There’s a common misconception that a newer vehicle must return to the dealership for every oil change or routine maintenance service to keep its warranty coverage.
Federal warranty law provides important protections for consumers.
Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer generally cannot require you to use a particular dealership or service provider for maintenance simply to maintain warranty coverage, unless the required service is provided free of charge or another applicable exception exists.
That means you can choose where you have routine maintenance performed—including an independent service provider.
Important: You are still responsible for following your vehicle manufacturer’s maintenance requirements. Warranty coverage may also be denied for a particular problem if improper maintenance, repair, or parts caused the damage. Always review your vehicle’s warranty and owner’s manual for its specific requirements.

FAQ
Can I get an oil change somewhere other than the dealership while my car is under warranty?
Generally, yes. The FTC states that federal law prohibits manufacturers or dealers from denying warranty coverage simply because routine maintenance was performed by someone other than the dealer. Specific warranty terms and maintenance requirements still apply.
Will getting my oil changed at Grease Monkey automatically void my manufacturer's warranty?
Having routine maintenance performed by an independent service provider does not, by itself, automatically void a manufacturer’s warranty. However, damage caused by improper maintenance or repair may not be covered. Review your manufacturer’s warranty for the requirements applicable to your vehicle.
Do I still need to follow my manufacturer's maintenance schedule?
Yes. Follow the maintenance schedule specified for your vehicle. The FTC specifically recommends using the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule in your owner’s manual and keeping records of completed maintenance.
Do I need an appointment at Oilex Grease Monkey?
No appointment is needed for routine service. Stop by when it works for you.
