Understanding Block Exemption Regulations (BER)

What is BER?

Block Exemption Regulations (BER) 1400/2002 is European Union legislation that came into effect in October 2003. This regulation significantly changed the landscape of car servicing and repairs in the EU.

How does BER benefit you?

BER provides motorists with greater freedom in choosing where to service their vehicles. Key benefits include:

You can now choose any garage to service your car, not just franchised dealers.
Your manufacturer’s warranty remains valid when using non-franchised garages, provided certain conditions are met.
