CUSTOM VEHICLE WARRANTY
AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO SCA PERFORMANCE CUSTOM VEHICLE OWNERS… COMMITMENT TO YOU
At SCA Performance, we are committed to assuring your satisfaction with your new custom vehicle.
Your dealer also wants you to be completely satisfied and invites you to return for all your service needs.
VEHICLE OPERATION AND CARE
Considering the investment you have made in your custom vehicle, we know you will want to operate and maintain it properly. We urge you to follow the FACTORY MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS contained in your original equipment owner’s manual. We also encourage you to follow the Custom Component Maintenance Schedule for SCA Performance installed parts, which can be found on Pages 4-5 of your SCA warranty manual.
NOTE: Lack of maintenance, as recommended by the OE/SCA Owner’s Manuals, may result in damage to your custom vehicle.
If you have specific questions on how to keep your custom vehicle in good working condition, see your dealer or contact SCA Performance for instruction. You can rely on your dealer to use proper parts and practices.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR RECORDS
We recommend that you retain receipts covering performance of regular vehicle maintenance. Repairs required due to damage resulting from lack of maintenance are not covered under your warranty. Receipts can be very important if a question arises as to whether a malfunction is caused by lack of maintenance or a defect in material or workmanship. We suggest you keep these receipts in the glove box literature packet.
