Both should be investigated for anti-competitive activities.

1. Boycott via a collective of an association acting like a cartel can be anti-competitive under the Act.

2. Automatic denial of manufacturer/ distributor warranty for repairs and LEGAL modifications by third party workshop such as sound systems, tinting etc is ANTI competitive under the Act. Of course if the repairs or mods were done incorrectly, the relevant part would not subject to manufacturer’s warranty.

This has been well established in EU Aus UK etc just google. Manufacturers are even compelled to share technical repair guides with third party workshops.
