Dealership Mechanics vs. Independent Shops
Your car needs to be repaired. Should you take it to a Birmingham dealership like Carlock Honda or to some independent shop? There are lots of reasons to bring your car into a dealership for service. To prove it to you, we’ve put together the detailed dealership mechanics vs. independent shops comparison below.
Dealership Mechanics vs. Independent Shops: Expert Mechanics
Most mechanics at independent shops in Birmingham Area have general training when it comes to auto repair. But the techs at our dealership have been specially trained to service Honda Vehicles. That’s important to the long life of your Honda automobile.
Dealership Mechanics vs. Independent Shops: Service Specials
Have you checked out our generous service specials? You can get discounts on oil changes, wheel alignments, tire rotation, parts purchases and more. That’s not something you can expect from your typical independent Bessemer independent auto repair shop.
Dealership Mechanics vs. Independent Shops: OEM Parts
Independent auto repair shops are likely to use after-market parts. These parts are not guaranteed to match the exact performance and fit of the original factory parts. But the service center at Carlock Honda uses only genuine OEM parts that are sure to exactly match the fit and performance of the original parts.
Dealership Mechanics vs. Independent Shops: Service Financing
Let’s be honest. Not everyone has the funds available for every necessary car repair that goes along. You can finance your repairs with us. You can’t do that with an independent shop.
