Thisis on the Hyundai website;

"The Routine Maintenance Service Record is THE ONLY PROOF that the vehicle has been correctly serviced and that the warranty is valid. All routine maintenance servicing must be supported by a VAT invoice to provide adequate proof that the vehicle has been maintained correctly to reduce the risk of the manufactures Warranty being invalidated. The Routine Maintenance Service Record within the booklet must still be completed. The invoices must detail the Servicing Garage Name, Address, VAT number, Details of the Service carried out and parts that have been replaced etc."

Although I believe they have agreed elsewhere VAT reg not required.

The reason they heavily encourage that a VAT registered business carries out any servicing and repairs, is that receipts and invoices can be trailed. It is a requirement of any VAT registered business to keep proper records, a non-VAT registered business does not have as many regulations attached to it.

The problem is, unless you've done your research and know for a fact (and can prove it) that the parts you've bought are comparable -- and for this read "the same but in a different box" -- it's a very easy thing for a manufacturer to use to worm out of an expensive fix.

I'd be inclined to just use the branded bits myself.

Although I agree that some of them will do their best to argue the case, the onus will be on the manufacturer to prove they are not of comparable quality.
