Your rights · European Regulation No. 461/2010

Your manufacturer warranty,preserved — it's the law.

You may have been told that servicing your vehicle with us would void your manufacturer warranty. That is false. European regulation leaves you free to choose your workshop — and LNVI protects that right.

Approved independent multi-brand workshop · Le Blanc-Mesnil (93)
What the law says

Three principles, set in European law.

Free choice of workshop is protected by European Regulation No. 461/2010.

Regulation (EU) No. 461/2010 — motor vehicle block exemption
01

A manufacturer cannot make its warranty conditional on servicing being carried out within its own network.

02

You can have your vehicle serviced at an independent workshop, on two conditions: follow the manufacturer's recommendations (same operations, same intervals) and use parts of equivalent quality to the original parts.

03

In the event of a dispute, the burden of proof lies with the manufacturer: it is up to them to show that a failure comes from poor maintenance or an unsuitable part — not you.

Our commitment

How LNVI secures your warranty.

We follow the manufacturer's maintenance plan to the letter: same operations, same intervals.

Original parts or approved parts of equivalent quality, oils that meet manufacturer standards.

Every intervention is documented: invoice itemised line by line, in the terms of the service book, added to the vehicle file — your best proof in the event of a dispute.

And if the manufacturer disputes it ?

Solucia, via Alliance Automotive.

LNVI relies on a partnership initiated by Alliance Automotive with Solucia, a legal protection specialist. If a manufacturer wrongly disputed your warranty because you chose an independent workshop, this legal protection steps in to defend your right. You are not alone against the manufacturer.
