Given this, Holden does not recommend modifying your vehicle from its as built nature using non-Holden approved parts and accessories. Your vehicle's integrity, performance and safety may be impaired by modifications using non-Holden approved components. Should you proceed with modifications, your New Vehicle Warranty will not be voided. However, should a problem occur which is attributed to the modifications made, any repairs will not be covered by Holden's New Vehicle Warranty.

Your Holden Dealer is staffed exclusively by dedicated Holden experts who have the training and specialised equipment to correctly service your vehicle. All Holden Dealers subscribe to a standard of excellence called "The Holden Difference".

If you decide to have your vehicle serviced by an independent mechanic, ensure the service coupons are correctly validated with the mechanic's stamp, signed and the correct odometer reading recorded. It is also advisable that you maintain your service invoice, which will detail the work carried out on your vehicle. This will assist you with any warranty claims that may arise and will also enhance the value of your vehicle. For further information, please refer to chapters 9 and 12 of your Owner's Handbook.

Aftermarket parts and accessories may be fitted to your vehicle and this will not void your New Vehicle Warranty. However, Holden's warranty will not cover repairs to your vehicle should the problem be attributed to the installation of the aftermarket component. For further clarification, please refer to chapter 9 of your Owner's Handbook which details the terms and conditions of your New Vehicle Warranty.

Should you have any questions regarding component and repair coverage under warranty, we suggest speaking with the Service Department of your Holden Dealer. Visit Holden Dealer Locator for your nearest Holden Dealer.
