Yes. Your Mercedes-Benz service book will be stamped and details entered on the digital service book system (if relevant). Your manufacturer's warranty will remain unaffected under the Motor Vehicle Block Exemption Regulations (BER). In October 2003 European Union Legislation affecting the motor trade came into force. Its full title is ‘Block Exemption Regulations 1400/2002’ (in short ‘BER’). This legislation changes the way cars may be serviced and repaired and gives motorists a lot more freedom in their decision as to who should look after their cars. Before BER, it was very difficult to have cars, which were still covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, serviced anywhere except a franchised dealer. Now motorists can use any garage of their choice to service their cars without invalidating the manufacturer’s warranty (subject to certain conditions). To find out more, please click here.
