honest mechanics who provide competent service. Unfortunately, that's not true of all;
horror stories about unscrupulous shops and poor quality repairs abound.
So there are good reasons for having your car serviced by your dealer.
A mechanic at an independent service center
may be highly experienced with
cars in general, but have only a passing familiarity with your particular make
and model. Your dealer's mechanics, on the other hand, specialize in a single make,
quickly building invaluable experience. Take your Honda to a Honda dealership,
for example, and your car will be serviced by a mechanic who works on Hondas
just like yours every day.

Independent service centers often use
after-market parts that may not meet the
same quality standards as the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts
used by your dealer. Since they're manufactured by another company and designed
to be generic, they may not fit your car as well as OEM parts. This will impact how
well your car performs, how long it will last, and even how safe it is to drive.

An independent service center may train it's
mechanics, but where? And how much
of their training is devoted to the car you're driving? Your dealer's mechanics
receive intensive training straight from the manufacturer, giving them access to the
engineering knowledge only the manufacturer can provide. They're thus fully aware
of all applicable recall notices and have the tools and parts ready to apply them. And
because they work closely with the manufacturer, your dealer's mechanics are fully
authorized to make warranty repairs, helping you avoid unpleasant surprises when
it comes time to review the bill.
