Hard Cover Rubber Seals

[YogiOz]

At my 22 500 kms service (put it in to also get the ECU reflash) I asked them to check out the seals on the hard cover as they were coming off. The dealer agreed and it's in today to have some new heavy duty seals put on under warranty. Looks like I might have finally found a decent service department. For those in Canberra it is Commonwealth Motors in Phillip.

I didn't realise the rear rubber seals would be under warranty. Should have done it on my last service at the stealer. I only take it to them once a year to keep the warranty active. Intermediate service 52,500km service + new oil filter ( i change the filter at every service ) $243.75. Usually when it gets this sevice done at Bob's 4x4 centre @ Coffs it's allways about $160.
I think i deserve gold plates rubbers

Thanks for the tip Yogi...I think I'll take my tri to them...Bill Lilley seem to be a little nonchalant about the whole deal!

Did you mean warranty or roadside assist? If you get all services done elsewhere, all you lose is roadside assist. Your warranty can't be affected.

Bill Lilley are the most useless dealer in the area - go to Commonwealth Motors in Phillip

My bit from (Bad dealerships / Bad Experience) viewtopic.php?f=18&t=148#p1980:

Well......I ordered a GLX R DID and when I went to pick it up guess what was waiting for me? A VR - and didn't I kick up a stink. So I had to wait for the accessories to be ordered, book it in to be speced up and now the suspension looks dodgy (see forum thread I started on this) and despite all the assurances in the world of them contacting me they haven't for over a week. Other issues include rattling rear doors and loose center console. For those in ACT/NSW avoid Bill Lilley Mitsubishi at all costs!

And the Dealer Principal blamed the salesman, the salesman blamed the fact that too many people were involved (like I care I just wanted my truck!).

So can someone just clarify for me... i have my 30000k service very soon.
and i coulnt give a toss about the roadside assist.
Does that mean i can take the vehicle anwhere i please, as long as they use genuine parts?


Sorry for the hijack...

That's how I've read it in the warranty section of the owners manual. They don't have a right to keep you for servicing at the expense of warranty. Haven't been able to for minimum 15 years now, at least that's my understanding. I'll see if I can find it written anywhere more informative.

I was told by the stealer at the time of purchase that you have to have it serviced once a year @ Mitsubishi to cover warranty. Not sure about the roadside assist. So that's what i do. The only other times iot goes to the dealer is for warranty fixes etc. every other service etc is done by Bob's 4x4 Centre in coffs.

The dealer is having a lend of you unfortunately. The only thing you lose by not getting it serviced at the dealer is roadside assist

Greedy is 100% correct. Your new Mitsubishi will keep its 5yr/130k warranty as long as it is serviced by a licenced mechanic using Australian Standard parts (Non Aus std parts can't be sold in Aus), providing your book has been stamped.

You will lose your Roadside assist after the first year if you do not have them service your vehicle.
