There is no need to return to the dealer for servicing of your car. The dealer would like you to believe that, but it is not the case.
As long as you have the car serviced by a qualified mechanic, at a business that has a registered ABN, and the parts & oils are of good quality , your manufacturer warranty MUST be honoured.
I have looked into this numerous times.
Shop around Matee, ask what brand of oil the business will use and the filters etc.
I don't know what car you have , but at 12,000km , they are usually quite a minor service. That all depends if it is a 4wd or a vehicle that maybe has to have the valve clearances adjusted though??
