Your car is important – the second largest investment of the average person’s lifetime. When your car has a maintenance issue, don't trust its safety to just anyone. Where you get that service is entirely up to you, but there are plenty of worthwhile perks to having your vehicle serviced at a dealership, rather than at an independent or franchised garage.
Bigger facilities mean a faster turnaround time
When things get busy at a small shop, you may end up waiting a day or more just for a mechanic to get to your vehicle. When you bring your vehicle to a dealership however, you’ll find much larger facilities with more service bays for all types of services and repairs.
Held to higher standards
As a direct representative of the manufacturer, dealership service centers are held to a much higher standard than most independent shops. That shows in the investments dealers make in their service team, the way dealerships maintain their facilities, and how service teams interact with their customers. This level of service will aid in maintaining the highest resale value of your vehicle possible.
Factory-trained, ASE-certified mechanics on site
Dealerships not only specialize in servicing your specific vehicle brand, but they also employ factory-trained technicians who understand every aspect of your particular make and model. Armed with a wealth of knowledge and experience with your specific vehicle brand, dealership technicians can diagnose and repair any issue with remarkable ease.
State-of-the-art diagnostic tools and equipment utilized
Having the right tools can make all the difference when servicing a modern vehicle. Dealerships make sure their service centers come equipped with the latest in diagnostic tools and service equipment, some of which may not be on-hand at independent repair shops. The equipment, in turn, is typically linked to factory service experts for additional immediate support.
OEM (factory-made) parts on-hand and readily available
Dealerships use genuine OEM parts that are specifically designed to work with your vehicle and perform just like the original parts. Not only do these parts last longer than their generic counterparts, but you’ll also run into fewer issues later. Dealerships also have a readily available selection of parts on hand to carry out most repairs, and can get these repairs done quickly.
Worry-free warranty repairs
All vehicles come with manufacturer
warranties when new, or suggested repair schedules that specify what kind of
maintenance and repair procedures are best for your car. When you have your
service completed at an authorized dealership, you can trust that your car is
getting the right kind of care and you can be rest assured that you won't void
the warranty for failure to meet service requirements.
Official service records maintained
By returning to the dealership each time your car needs a repair or maintenance, you create a vehicle history. Certified, factory-trained mechanics and technicians are taught how to work on your car. That means they can identify and fix common problems efficiently without costing you a fortune. If a problem comes up in the future, they can check the vehicle history to see what the problem might be.
