Depends on the warranty work done. Example, if you have lowering springs and you blew your struts early, they can deny it.
However if you have a fully built engine with a turbo and your radio breaks, they can't deny you. It can only be denied if the modified part caused the damage.

In the end, it's simple: Legit warranty work = free money for the dealer, they'll take this all day every day. Denied warranty work = improper dealer training, improper diagnosis, improper mechanic work, prior experience with "modded car bad customers", bad customer to dealer communication, dealer bias towards modified cars, or just a shady customer claiming warranty work for something not covered Either way, you have to take a step back and look at it from the dealer's view. They service you, but they also have procedures to follow from the manufacturer to provide a service (and get reimbursed for it). Build a relationship with a dealer first. -alex |
