Other specialized seller talks now about have too pay for warranty work done? If lucky specialized send free parts to warranty.
Does this sound right?

It should be free, but I could name several Spesh dealers that charge for warranty work if you didn’t buy the bike from them.

It is a global warranty. You need to read the version on the Swedish website and go from there.

might have something to do with whether the bike shop is a registered Specialized dealer or not.

I was told “if a bike shop wants to sell specialized bikes they HAVE to carry out warranty work labour free whether the bike was bought from them or not” !

I just had experience with this. Had a Levo at a local Specialized store and they charged me labor and a warranty filling charge to diagnose and repair my faulty battery. I contacted Specialized and they said that no dealer can charge labor or parts for a warranty repair. Specialized sent and email to this dealer and they refunded me. This was in the USA.

Okay. I will ask our service department to explore whether a new battery is an option. If you have a payment record like a receipt of the $120 warranty charge please provide that to us. Warranty claims filed through Specialized are done so at no charge to the rider. Specialized will never charge riders directly for support specifically covered under warranty. We'd like to confirm the nature of the charge to guarantee there's been no miscommunication on the circumstance of the payment. Send that our way when possible.

-This is the text I received from Rider Care. I sent them a copy of my receipt and they sent a email to the dealer and I was refunded.
