The state of California plans to start showing motorists a video that informs them about their vehicle warranty rights as the Magnuson-Moss Act specifies. The video will play at 178 department of motor vehicle locations across the state. The video was produced by the Car Care Council in conjunction with AutoNetTV media.
“The Car Care Council appreciates CAWA working with the California DMV to provide us with an opportunity to reach thousands of motorists with the important, and often misunderstood, message about the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act while they are sitting in the waiting rooms at DMV offices,” said Rich White, executive director of Car Care Council.
“California motorists need to understand their rights under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act to make informed decisions about their vehicle repair choices,” said Rodney Pierini, president and CEO of CAWA. “Working together with the California DMV, we will reach thousands of Californians every day, reinforcing their rights to have their vehicles repaired at the facility of their choice without fear of voiding their auto warranty.”
The Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act makes it illegal for a dealer to deny warranty coverage if someone else, like an independent repair shop, performs maintenance on the vehicle.
