Question: When you take your car in for service under warranty...do you take off any

Aftermarket Parts? I just dont wanna go in & they say ooh these are aftermarket parts, now we have to void your warranty. I gotta get my warning light for my windwasher fluid fixed & I know they are going to go under the hood?

Please help & tell....

Hey man, I think it pretty much depends on the dealer......if he's cool with it, they won't say anything....

I would try to anonymously contact your service manager and ask what their position is. I realize that is easier said then done but you can probably get a friend to call. I suspect you won't like what you hear.

Considering the dealer I bought it at, sells performance parts themselves " MOSSY" I don't see why they would...

A dealer cannot deny you warranty service for that reason unless he feels that the aftermarket parts caused the problem. My dealer in Phoenix is cool with aftermarket stuff (he sells Stillen), so long as it didn't cause the problem. They will definitely mention that it could have been a part of the problem just to bust your *****, but you should be okay.....
