aftermarket parts don't automatically void warrenties. if the part caused the malfunction then you throw the warrenty out the window

No, the dealership just wants no part of the hassle of putting stock parts onto ur car to make it a certified used car!

ya i kno. they take the money off the trade in value cuz they gotta pay ppl to put the stock parts back on. but even with just lowering springs it voids warranty. cuz i tried already and i had to put everything back to stock b4 they even took it.

putting suspension parts on a car will not void the car's warranty. if the parts do cause problems to the car, then that warranty is voided. ONLY THAT WARRANTY, not everything else.

whatever dealer told you that is A. lying. B. idiots. C. idiots. or D. idiots.

if they threaten to deny warranty work because of simple mods like suspension on lets say your defroster. threaten to contact corporate or take it to another dealer.

You forgot E: ******* Lying Idiots

They CANNOT and i repeat CANNOT void your whole warranty because you did a mod. IE: You put on an intake and your radio starts acting up they cannot void your warranty, your intake has absolutely nothing to do with your radio!!! Do not beleive what the dealers tell you...and i work for one and i dont believe em!
