Remote Car Starter Installation in Pittsburgh

warranties

For as long as remote starters have been around, the false story that “remote starters will void your car warranty” has also been around. It’s simply not true. A federal law – the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act, passed by Congress in 1975 – that provides: “Warranties, written or implied, cannot be conditioned on the consumer’s use of any article or service identified by brand, trade, or corporate name.”

You can read this for yourself on the website the Federal Trade Commission has established HERE.

In Summary: the law states that a vehicle manufacturer can’t void your warranty because aftermarket parts have been installed or someone other than the dealer performs your service work, unless the manufacturer has been able to convince the FTC that the restriction is in the public interest. This is rare because it’s a very difficult process to complete!

Sometimes, you will find a person trying to mislead you by tell you, “Well, your warranty will be voided if you buy a remote start from Team Nutz, but if you buy it from us, your warranty will still exist.” If you hear something like this, you may want to politely turn around and walk away from the person because: 1. They don’t know what they are talking about. 2. They are trying to take advantage of you.

This conversation happens all the time. If an employee at a dealership tells you that your car warranty will be voided if you install a remote start from someone other than the dealership, ask them to put it in writing. We have never seen this in writing because its illegal scare tactics.

There are some other important things to consider about your warranty. If you choose a lousy product and the product fails, you may have a problem. If you have it installed by an amateur who does a lousy job and it causes a problem in the vehicle, the dealer doesn’t have to cover that under warranty.
