It’s time for your car’s regularly scheduled maintenance, and you’ve got a great question. Why should you choose an independent auto repair shop over a dealership? While we know there are some great dealerships out there, there are multiple reasons to consider bringing your car to an independent shop instead.
Lower Prices
Many people choose independent shops because labor and parts are cheaper than standard dealership prices. A big part of that price difference comes down to parts. Independent shops aren’t limited to using the more expensive dealer parts. Depending on the repair, we also have the options of quality after-market parts or even used parts. Our goal is to provide you with the best quality repairs at the lowest possible prices, and we have the flexibility to actually follow through on that.
Passionate Technicians
Independent technicians are proud of their work. This job is more than just a job for us. We love what we do and want to see your car run as smoothly as possible. Our techs are fully qualified and ASE certified, ensuring that you’ll get top-level service from professionals that genuinely care.
No Sales Pressure
Dealerships’ main purpose is to sell cars. Because of that, there can often be added pressure to trade in your vehicle and upgrade sooner. This pressure can come from techs just as much as the salespeople. Independent shops just want you to have a safe, comfortable ride, and we’ll only make the repairs necessary to ensure that confidence in your vehicle.
Customer Service
Perhaps the most important difference between dealerships and independent auto shops is that independent shops are a part of their communities. We aren’t controlled by some large, international corporation. We are your friends and neighbors, and we’ll treat you with that same neighborly care and respect you deserve.
