Warranty Hiccup

ALL warranty claims must go through the dealer. The way it works is the dealer assesses the problem, then seeks the approval of the carmaker to make the necessary repairs. Nothing happens unless the carmaker gives its approval. If your mechanic finds something that needs to be fixed under warranty, you must take the car back to the dealer. If you go ahead and have your mechanic repair it, you will bear the cost of the work. The carmaker, Holden in your case, will not come to the party.
