Why service your car at the dealership
Why service your car at the dealership
Posted on January 8, 2022
If you have a new or used car, there will eventually come a time when your car needs to be serviced. Whether you need to have routine service performed on your car, or you need to get a part on your vehicle replaced, you have probably wondered if you should take your vehicle to a local mechanic, or if you should take it to the dealership. While there are pros and cons to both options, taking your vehicle to the dealership to be serviced has more benefits. Here is a look at some of the best reasons to take your vehicle to the dealership to get it serviced.
Premium Parts
If you take your vehicle to a private mechanic to have your vehicle repaired, there is a good chance that the mechanic will use an aftermarket replacement part on your vehicle. These parts are not made to fit the exact make and model of your vehicle. Instead, they are made to fit a wide range of vehicles. Because these types of parts may not fit your vehicle well, there is a good chance that they could cause damage to your vehicle down the road. Also, depending on how old your vehicle is, using an aftermarket part could void the warranty on your vehicle.
When you take your vehicle to the dealership, the technicians will only use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts. That means that they will only use parts that were designed to go on your specific vehicle. When the technician replaces one of your vehicle's parts for another OEM part, they are putting the exact same part on your vehicle that was on it before.
Certified Technicians
At City Chrysler, all of our technicians have been specifically trained to repair Chrysler vehicles. A local mechanic may have a general idea of how each component works on every vehicle, but they are more than likely not going to have extensive knowledge on exactly how various parts of your specific vehicle work.
Our technicians will not only know how to fix your vehicle, but they also know the common problems that can arise in your specific make and model and they will be able to give different tips and tricks that will help to prevent common problems from happening with your car.
Warranty Work
All new and certified pre-owned vehicles will come with a warranty. If one of the components needs replacing that is covered under the warranty, our service technicians will know exactly what to do. We will fix your vehicle quickly and have you back on the road in no time. In most cases, you will not have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses for warranty work that is performed at our facility.
