[Choosing the Right EV](https://support.car360.co.uk/buying-a-car?hsLang=en-gb#choosing-the-right-ev) # Will buying from car360 or servicing my EV independently affect my manufacturer's warranty? **No. Buying your EV from car360 rather than a main dealer, or having it serviced at an independent garage, does not automatically invalidate your manufacturer's warranty, including the battery warranty.** Under UK competition rules, you can generally choose where to have your car serviced, provided the work follows the manufacturer's requirements and uses suitable parts. **What you need to know:** - **Buying from car360:** Any remaining transferable manufacturer's warranty can still apply, even when you buy from an independent retailer. - **Independent servicing:** You don't have to use a main dealer for routine servicing, provided the manufacturer's requirements are followed. - **Battery warranty:** EV battery warranties are usually separate from the vehicle warranty and often last around 8 years from new, subject to mileage, battery capacity and other conditions. - **Service history:** Missing required maintenance or incorrect repairs could affect specific warranty claims, but don't automatically invalidate all warranty cover. **What if a main dealer says my warranty is void?** Ask them to confirm in writing which warranty condition has been breached and why it affects your particular claim. Our EV specialists are always happy to help you understand the service history, battery health information and warranty position of any car you're considering. For more information, see the [official UK Competition and Markets Authority guidance](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cma-guidance-on-motor-vehicle-agreements). *Please note: Manufacturer warranty terms, exclusions and eligibility vary by vehicle. Always check the specific warranty conditions and service history. If you have any questions or doubts, our EV specialists are happy to help.* - [Buying a Car](https://support.car360.co.uk/buying-a-car?hsLang=en-gb#main-content) - [Cost and savings](https://support.car360.co.uk/buying-a-car?hsLang=en-gb#cost-and-savings) - [Car Reservation](https://support.car360.co.uk/buying-a-car?hsLang=en-gb#car-reservation) - [Car Return](https://support.car360.co.uk/buying-a-car?hsLang=en-gb#car-return) - [Car Condition & Quality Checks](https://support.car360.co.uk/buying-a-car?hsLang=en-gb#car-condition-quality-checks) - [Test Drives & Viewing](https://support.car360.co.uk/buying-a-car?hsLang=en-gb#test-drives-viewing) - [Choosing the Right EV](https://support.car360.co.uk/buying-a-car?hsLang=en-gb#choosing-the-right-ev) - [How car360 Works](https://support.car360.co.uk/how-car360-works?hsLang=en-gb#main-content) - [How car360 works?](https://support.car360.co.uk/how-car360-works?hsLang=en-gb#how-car360-works) - [Choosing the Right EV](https://support.car360.co.uk/how-car360-works?hsLang=en-gb#choosing-the-right-ev) - [Finance & payments](https://support.car360.co.uk/finance-payments?hsLang=en-gb#main-content) - [Finance & Payments](https://support.car360.co.uk/finance-payments?hsLang=en-gb#finance-payments) - [Money-Back Guarantee](https://support.car360.co.uk/finance-payments?hsLang=en-gb#money-back-guarantee) - [Delivery & Collection](https://support.car360.co.uk/delivery-collection?hsLang=en-gb#main-content) - [Delivery Process](https://support.car360.co.uk/delivery-collection?hsLang=en-gb#delivery-process) - [Collection Process](https://support.car360.co.uk/delivery-collection?hsLang=en-gb#collection-process) - [Part Exchange](https://support.car360.co.uk/part-exchange?hsLang=en-gb#main-content) - [Eligibility & Valuation](https://support.car360.co.uk/part-exchange?hsLang=en-gb#eligibility-valuation) - [Documents & Legal](https://support.car360.co.uk/documents-legal?hsLang=en-gb#main-content) - [Ownership & Registration](https://support.car360.co.uk/documents-legal?hsLang=en-gb#ownership-registration) - [Insurance](https://support.car360.co.uk/documents-legal?hsLang=en-gb#insurance) - [Warranty & Add-ons](https://support.car360.co.uk/warranty-add-ons?hsLang=en-gb#main-content) - [Warranty Plans](https://support.car360.co.uk/warranty-add-ons?hsLang=en-gb#warranty-plans) - [Support & Contact](https://support.car360.co.uk/support-contact?hsLang=en-gb#main-content) - [Getting Help](https://support.car360.co.uk/support-contact?hsLang=en-gb#getting-help) - [Charging](https://support.car360.co.uk/charging?hsLang=en-gb#main-content) - [Charging](https://support.car360.co.uk/charging?hsLang=en-gb#charging) [![C360-Logo-01-helpdesk](https://support.car360.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/C360-Logo-01-helpdesk.png?width=200&height=40&name=C360-Logo-01-helpdesk.png "C360-Logo-01-helpdesk")](https://support.car360.co.uk/?hsLang=en-gb) [mailto:support@car360.co.uk](mailto:support@car360.co.uk) © 2026 Henley Cars Ltd t/a Car360.
