If you think missing a scheduled logbook service is no big deal, read on!
The implications of missing a scheduled logbook service depend on:
- How long between services it has been,
- If any issues have come up,
- Your overall service history.
Voiding your manufacturers warranty is one of the most risky implications of missing a logbook service.
If you have missed several services in a row and repairs are necessary, you may find that your manufacturers warranty is void which means that any future repairs will not be covered under your warranty.
Late missed log book service
If you have excellent service history and have only missed your scheduled service by a couple of months or few hundred kilometres, the dealership will likely and should honour your warranty.
Car dealerships and mechanics understand that missing a scheduled logbook service happens sometimes. It is not always possible to schedule your service for exactly on the date or specific km’s that it is due, most dealerships and mechanics are understanding of this and your warranty should stay in tact.
