21 Oct 2021There’s nothing wrong with having your vehicle serviced by a non-Haval mechanic as a registered workshop will still be authorised to stamp your service booklet and maintain your factory warranty. For many people, a non-Haval workshop is the logical choice as the Haval dealer network is not as wide as some of its competitors. But some independent workshops will forget or not know how to cancel the service indicator on the dashboard, and that’s probably what’s happened in this case.
While some makes and models have a simple, DIY method for cancelling this reminder, it seems these late-model Havals do not and the service indicator needs to be cancelled via the diagnostic port and a laptop with the correct, Haval-specific software. Which could mean a trip to your nearest dealer. The other option is to phone around local workshops to see if they have the software to perform this task. The third option is to put up with the service indicator beaming at you constantly and remembering when the next service is due.
