Vehicle Service Schedules / Access to Manufacturer Information

[samwardill]

I just looked at the articles. There is nothing on the industry wide issue of excessive servicing regimes. I made a contact on LinkedIn that might be useful (albeit he works in the industry). I’ll see if he is willing to explain. He would probably say it is due to the fuel standards but then that would still be a worthwhile cause for Choice to pursue. He has argued previously that Australia gets less developed country car models because we do not have developed country fuel standards. This is presumably because companies owning refineries in Australia lobby against tighter fuel standards. The knock on impact of this is that we also have lower emissions standards so more particulates & NOx are pumped into the atmosphere.
