These days, most franchise dealerships offer a service department, but there is a common myth that you can only take advantage of the shop if you bought your vehicle from that dealership. We are happy to tell you that it doesn’t matter where you bought the vehicle from. Even if you bought your vehicle from a dealership’s biggest competitor, you can utilize their service center.
Here at Zimbrick, we have a wide variety of service centers, and we encourage you to visit any one of them. The only recommendation that we have is that you visit one that works with the brand of vehicle that you own. For example, if you’re a Honda owner, we highly recommend that you visit our Honda location or our Honda-specific service center. You could bring it to any of our service centers, but every brand-specific location has technicians trained to deal with that brand.
Benefits of Servicing Your Car at a Dealership
There are quite a few benefits that can come from servicing your vehicle at a dealership, rather than a locally-owned automotive repair shop, and we just hinted to one of them. Dealerships employ technicians who are specifically trained to deal with the primary brand of the location, and they possess all of the necessary certifications. It means that every technician possesses the same base knowledge, so it doesn’t matter which one you have working on your vehicle. Each is capable of diagnosing and repairing all issues up to the standards of the manufacturer.
Another one of the benefits of servicing your car at a dealership is that they only use genuine, licensed parts that are approved for use by the manufacturer. Essentially what this means is that you are not just getting the cheapest available part. If you bring your vehicle to a service center of the same brand, there is a good chance that any parts that need replacement will be replaced with that exact same brand of part, helping your vehicle to run the way that it was engineered to.
