Top 5 Reasons to Have Your Car Repaired/Serviced at a Dealership

Dealerships Offer Considerable Benefits That Justify Their Costs

Owning a car is one of the most significant investments you can make. However, as your trusty steed ages, it will require regular maintenance, repairs, and servicing to keep it running smoothly.

If you’re like most car owners, when it comes to deciding where to take your vehicle for repairs or servicing, the cost is often a significant factor. Perhaps you’re unsure whether dealership services are worth it. While dealerships generally charge higher rates for their services compared to independent repair shops, they offer considerable benefits that justify the cost.

 

Why Take Your Car to the Dealership?

Since your car is an investment, a symbol of your hard work and dedication, it’s more than just a means of transportation — it’s an essential part of your daily routine. For these reasons, you’ll want to prioritize the maintenance and repairs of your vehicle to keep it in top condition. Kids Car Donations shares the top 5 reasons to take it to the dealership:

  1. Expertise and Experience

Dealerships have a team of trained and certified technicians with years of experience. Moreover, these professionals are well-versed in the latest diagnostic and repair techniques for vehicles of specific makes or brands. Since they have specialized tools and equipment, they can quickly identify and address your car’s issues.

  1. Genuine Parts

Dealerships use genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts specifically designed and tested for your vehicle. These parts are of higher quality than aftermarket parts and come with a warranty. For this reason, you can be sure you’re getting the best parts that work seamlessly with your car.

  1. Warranty

Getting your car serviced at a dealership is the best option if it’s under warranty. In most cases, warranties require car owners to get their vehicles serviced at a dealership to keep the warranty valid. Consequently, you risk voiding the warranty if you get your car serviced at an independent repair shop.

  1. Convenience

Dealerships typically offer convenient and customer-friendly repair services. These services include providing their customers with loaner cars, shuttle services, and online appointment scheduling. Simply drop off your car for servicing, and the dealership will take care of everything from there, allowing you to return to your day-to-day activities.

  1. Customer Service

Since dealerships have a reputation to uphold, they ensure customer satisfaction by providing excellent customer service and demonstrating their commitment to ensuring that your vehicle is correctly repaired or serviced the first time.

 

Taking Your Old Car with Lots of Issues to the Dealership? Think Again!

If you have an old car with a lot of issues, it may no longer be wise to bring it to the dealership. You’d be lucky if the dealership will accept your auto. Most dealerships only accept newer cars for servicing because they don’t have technicians trained in older engines. They also don’t have the parts for old car models.

Even if the dealership accepts your car for repair, the cost will most likely be astronomical. If you take it to an independent shop, the estimated cost of repair won’t probably be much different.
