Does driving for Lyft void a warranty?
I bought a new car about three years ago. I want to pay it off early so I can build my credit to buy a house. To earn some extra cash, I was thinking about driving for Lyft. My only problem is that I still have two years left on my warranty, and I don’t want to mess that up. Will driving for Lyft void my car’s warranty?
