If an owner never touches the engine then a warranty claim won't be denied as a result.
Do you ever change a light bulb in the house? Maybe that'll make you liable when the house falls apart in an earthquake too.



You can jump the car easily but don't drain the battery too often or else it'll need to be replaced. Car batteries don't like to be drained. A simple battery tender hooked up to the battery in front works great.

Roadside actually blew a fuse when using the tire kit plugged into the lighter . It was not so easy to fix either as it sent some error messages .

Even a flat can include other car components . Jump starting too .

I didn't touch the car --can't blame me .

Homeowners insurance is an entirely different topic from auto warranty claims . In fact even when a tuner touches the car it adds another person into the mix and finger pointing of blame increases exponentially by doing so .

If the owner abstains from self repair -- he has taken HIMSELF out of the blame equation . It sure sounds easier to me.

A great insurance policy for less then $100.00

I ve had one for years and never had a battery problem with any of my Porsches.
