Should You Take Your Car or Truck For Maintenance At The Dealer?

should you take your car or truck for maintenance at the dealer?

Getting your vehicle serviced here is your best choice, although there are many options to go with. Having a car means you might have to deal with routine service and unexpected repairs. Taking your car for routine service checks can help you stay aware of issues down the road, all while keeping it running its best. Since warranty work must be done at the dealership, we recommend that you have the routine service done here as well. The rewards of taking your car to us outweigh the potential risk of driving it to your local or independent mechanic shop. Here we’ll break down the differences of where you can take your vehicle for its service issues and why we will always be the best option for you.


A Local Vehicle Mechanic

The Local Vehicle Mechanic

Getting your vehicle looked at by any local mechanic near you could bring its own issues for yourself, and your car. Many local mechanics don’t have the more extensive, highly trained staff size that we have, which can result in longer turnaround times. While most independent mechanics are very skilled, they may lack the specific training required to service today’s tech-filled cars. Plus, if your vehicle ends up needing something swapped out, there’s no guarantee that they’ll actually have it available, and then you may have to go a while before they receive the part.

For your service needs, taking your vehicle to any local dealer might be different than an independent mechanic shop but won’t be the same as taking it to us. Any random dealer near you won’t know your vehicle as well as our technicians. We know your vehicle inside and out and are more in tune with its routine maintenance checks. We’re proud of the rapport we’ve built with your car. Could other dealerships provide the same familiarity and customer service with your vehicle?

Your Vehicle’s Specific Dealership

Bringing your vehicle to us and letting our skilled service techs handle all of your vehicle maintenance requirements is the right choice. ​If you’ve brought the vehicle to us for its usual service check-ins, you already have a relationship with our technicians, and they already know your vehicle. You can expect a quicker turnaround time since we have a bigger staff and the factory OEM parts to replace anything that is required on your vehicle. Trust us for each of your service needs, we know you and your car, provide shorter wait times, and we possess the OEM parts you need.
