In my view they should just do away with MP and give us the saving. If dudes wanna mod cars and do whatever then let them. If you want an MP you pay extra up front (much like how MP extension now works) and agree to do no modifications for the duration thereof.
The draft code of conduct for competition in South African Automotive Industry is proposing to do away with standard Motorplans, Warranties etc.
The code seeks to achieve
- Removal of restrictions on the provision of maintenance and service wotk of vehicles whilst under warranty
- OEMs to separate the costs of a vehicle from the costs of Maintenance & Service Plans at the point of sale of a vehicle.
Consumer's choice to
- purchase a new motor vehicle separately from a Maintenance Plan, Service Plan and Extended Warranty
- select the duration of a Maintenance Plan, Service Plan and Extended Warranty on newly purchased vehicle
- use any repair for non-warranty service, maintanance and replacement of parts not covered by a warranty during the warranty period. This will not have effect of voiding or canceling the OEM warranty. In these instances, the OEM is not obliged to pay for the repair work
- use any independent service provider for Warranty work during the warranty period, provided that the independent service provider uses an Original or Identical Spare Part. In such instances, OEM and Insurer shall not withhold payment to the independent service provider
