07 1.4 Dealer 'v' Indy Servicing - pugswhdi
My wife has a 2007 Honda Jazz (recently inherited from my Grandad) that will run out of manufacturers warranty in March 2010. We cannot tell exactly how long we'll keep the car and I usually do my own servicing (on a 15 year old discovery). We've never had such a new car before and I have a couple of questions that some of you might be able to help with.

1. Should I get a service/inspection done just before the warranty expires (presumably this will cost me and as it is not due a service i'll be duplicating effort)

2. How should I service it in the future? I think I have 4 options, in decreasing order of expense; continue with main dealer servicing, use a local honda specialist, use local independent garage, do it myself

Any views on this will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Ben

Get it serviced one month before the due date at a idie explain it's under warranty and anything they see to report it this gives you time to whip it back to honda for any warranty work if required & you get the service book stamped by the indie.

If you take it to honda they "might" not report any outstanding defects but i do hear on here that honda seem pretty good.

As for next year that is up to you i did mine at 3yrs old got warranty parts replaced had a look under myself if your confident do it you will save some cash just write in the service book date of service.
