Will I lose the manufacturer's warranty by having my vehicle serviced at an independent garage?

No. European regulations allow a vehicle under warranty to be serviced outside the manufacturer's network, provided the work follows the recommendations, the parts are of equivalent quality and the service book is kept up to date.

Does Techtronic work on vans?

Yes, up to 3.5 tonnes, with the same services as on a car, by appointment with a slot announced in advance.

Q: Can I supply my own parts for servicing?

It is possible, but the warranty then covers labour only. On a timing belt or a clutch, where redoing the work costs more than the part, Techtronic advises against it.

On a recent vehicle, replacing a part is no longer enough. A battery has to be registered with the energy management ECU, an electric parking brake is retracted with a diagnostic tool, injectors have to be coded, and a dual-clutch gearbox has to be re-adapted after any work. That is where many garages stop, and it has been our job since 2009.

Most requested services:

Oil change and service to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Brakes: pads, discs, callipers, system bleeding.
Timing: belt or chain, idlers, water pump.
Clutch and dual-mass flywheel.
Tyres: fitting, balancing, pressure sensors.

Quotation provided before any work.

What an electronics workshop changes for your servicing

Techtronic is first and foremost an automotive electronics workshop. We repair engine ECUs and ABS units, we remap everything from cars to heavy goods vehicles, and we develop on-board electronics for motorsport. This expertise benefits your routine servicing in three ways.

No referral to the main dealer. Injector coding, battery registration, clutch learning, indicator reset: operations that require access to the ECU are carried out here.
Diagnostics that go beyond the fault code. A code indicates a symptom, not a cause. We read live engine parameters to identify the real fault before replacing a part.
No replacement by trial and error. An ECU or an ABS unit can often be repaired, for a fraction of the price of a new one. See our ABS unit repair page.

Frequently asked questions

No. European regulations allow a vehicle under warranty to be serviced outside the manufacturer's network, provided the work is carried out to the recommendations, with parts of equivalent quality, and the service book is kept up to date. We give you a detailed invoice listing the parts and their references.

It is possible, but the warranty then covers labour only: we cannot vouch for a part whose origin and quality we do not know. On a timing belt or a clutch, where redoing the work costs more than the part, we advise against it.

An oil change or a set of brake pads is done within the day. A timing belt or a clutch generally takes one to two days depending on the vehicle. The duration is stated in the quotation, before the work.

Yes, up to 3.5 tonnes, with the same services as on a car. For a business, downtime often costs more than the repair: we work by appointment with a slot announced in advance.
