KNOW YOUR RIGHTS WHEN SERVICING AN IN WARRANTY VEHICLE

by | Nov 30, 2023

In tough economic times, OE quality is a cost saving measure

Times are tough for the average South African. The impulse to save a few Rand is ever-present, as households buckle under the pressure of rising inflation and fuel costs. Vehicle maintenance is a necessity; however, many drivers may be tempted to skim on routine maintenance to save costs. Unfortunately, this is false economy, as worn filters can increase fuel consumption or even lead to engine failure, costing much more in the long run.

The good news is that since the Competition Commission Guidelines came into effect, motorists are able to choose where they service their in-warranty vehicles meaning that they can choose a well-priced independent workshop in-place of an expensive dealership without voiding their warranty.

However, it is important that they choose an accredited workshop that fits OEM quality parts such as GUD filters when completing their service. Filters form a small part of the overall service cost but they play a big role of ensuring that customers receive the best engine protection and fuel economy and giving the workshop peace of mind. Unlike cheap filter manufacturers, GUD backs all of its products with a comprehensive warranty so that workshop owners know they are covered. With an extensive range covering over 99% of the vehicles on SA’s roads, GUD’s oil, fuel, air and cabin filters are manufactured to meet or exceed OE specifications.
