I buy s Mercedes Benz. I want a warranty. I am forced to use an authorised service provider who’s expensive af and I risk losing the warranty otherwise. How is that not anticonsumer? I crash said car, the insurer will not insure my car until it’s fixed by an authorised technician. How is that not anticonsumer.

The first part is clearly illegal in the USA. Is it not in the EU?

Yet you all cry for the right to repair. I’m confused. Is this a selective law, or what. And if yes, how is that legal?

		Voiding a warranty due to unauthorized repair is only one of many things a company can do to make third-party repair, or any repair more difficult.
