Would fixing a dent in non approved garage void the warranty?

as the title says. the guy in garage said he might need to remove the taillights to do pointless dent fixing, so would that process potentially void the warranty?

If you don’t post about it, then no one will know

It might for the tail light or anything the tail light interacts with.

No. And that is a perfect candidate for paintless dent repair. Save yourself a bunch of money, faster repair, and no paint to match.

Not likely but the tiny dent in this picture I would look into paintless dent repair that looks like an easy fix for them.

Generally, pursuant the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act, not a problem at all.

It took me a calendar month to figure out what I was looking at in this picture

I have no idea why I missed the fact that you said pdr in the op. Sorry. Removing the taillights is no problem but obviously warranty won't cover damage done to the taillights during removal or installation.

What warranty?

The imaginary "lifetime body panel anti-dent" warrenty.

Took a minute to understand the photo. Looked like someone standing on the bridge of a space ship at first. No. Won’t affect warranty.
