Did you know that it’s smarter and safer to have your vehicle serviced at a dealership? The Folsom Auto Mall explains all the reasons why it’s the better choice.
The first and most obvious reason to service your vehicle at a dealership is the manufacturer warranty. The manufacturer definitely prefers service from one of its reputable dealerships. Service at the dealer guarantees all maintenance and parts requirements are met, eliminating the possibility of voiding your warranty...and they keep records of every service, which makes your life easier. Every service is saved in their computer system, so showing proof of maintenance or potential recall repairs is all in one place and easy to access. This helps when it’s time to trade in or sell your vehicle - or for any future appraisals or insurance claims. Additionally, several manufacturers offer complimentary maintenance which means servicing at your local dealership is FREE!
Another important reason to get your maintenance and service done at a dealership is that you’ll know, without a doubt, that the technicians working on your vehicle are factory trained and certified. These mechanics have achieved the highest levels of technical training and have been certified by both the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) and the manufacturer. Because of their experience with your specific vehicle, they’re aware of known issues, recalls and idiosyncrasies another mechanic might not.
Dealerships have specialized tools, including sophisticated equipment, designed specifically for your vehicle. Their computers typically link to the factory, so they’re always up-to-date with any changes to equipment, common issues and potential recalls. In short, they know your car better than you do.
And, finally, dealerships keep an inventory of original manufacturer parts in stock - so repairs can happen faster. Other places usually have to order parts, so your fix could take weeks. Plus, dealerships don’t use one-size-fits-all generic parts - they use branded, made-for-your-vehicle parts and you can be sure those parts are genuine. You don’t know what you’re going to get when you service your vehicle elsewhere.
The Folsom Auto Mall has service departments at every dealership, with friendly and knowledgeable team members ready to help.
