Up to now my 08 Jazz has Honda service stamps but want to take it locally for servicing, will this be an issue for warranty claims ? Dave

Should be ok so long as the garage use genuine parts.

Agree should be ok if honda parts are used but make sure you stress it has to be honda as I have seen service books that states honda parts have been used but they clearly have not.

Hi
Can see no problem whilst coved by warranty - but (a big BUT) if you need goodwill help
out of warranty don't expect your Honda garage to help you on parts or fitting costs
Enjoy motoring in your Jazz
Oui oui

A recent dealer service reminder states that there have been changes to the Honda Warranty.

"Please be advised that all Honda models from 2006 onwards must have an annual corrosion inspection. Failing to have the car inspected by a Honda dealer will invalidate the 12 year corrosion warranty. The inspection will be carried out with your service."

Thanks for all the feedback, ( I rang Honda and they said the same, Honda parts and recomended oil) but the corrosion issue is a curious one! Probably just a ploy, maybe ! Thanks Dave

Lets face it, corrosion won't be a problem unless there is a deep scratch or dent that breaks the paint surface, a quick look underneath on ramps should flag up any areas that may need treatment. Also, keep the drain holes in the doors and sills clear with a thin piece of wire and you should be OK.
