Should You Bring Your New/used Car to The Dealer or Local Mechanic

We all know that taking care of your vehicle can save you money on fuel and raise your resale value.But, if you own a new or used car in NJ, is it better to head to the dealership or a mechanic for repairs? Your local mechanic may offer discounted prices, but dealerships provide the benefit of factory-trained technicians, superior facilities, factory replacement parts and state-of-the-art tools.Weigh the pros and cons of Big Boy dealerships versus Joe’s Garage down the block before taking your car in for maintenance in NJ.

NJ dealerships offer larger, better-equipped facilities, with technicians trained to stay up-to-date on repairs and specialize in your type of car. Large dealerships offer more service bays, which often mean your vehicle will be serviced quicker. Dealerships also have access to manufacturers’ newly developed service tools, specifications and recall bulletins.Their state-of-the-art equipment increases the likelihood of a precise diagnosis.For smaller garages, diagnosis can be a guess and check situation, meaning you may end up having to pay for parts that don’t need repair. Dealerships also receive technical service bulletins (TSB) from manufacturers, which outline repairs for specific problems.They also offer OE (Original Equipment) parts only authorized by the manufacturer.

Dealerships offer customers a more pleasant experience overall.You’ll tend to find a waiting room, clean bathrooms, a place to buy car accessories, and even snacks and a television to make the chore of coming in for car service more bearable.Dealerships may even wash your car before returning it to you.

Small mechanics do offer, however, discounted prices.They use factory replacement parts, or aftermarket pieces unless specified by the customer.Be sure to shop around to watch out for scams, however. To save some cash at the dealership, add your name to your dealer’s service mailing list; you’ll receive coupons for significant discounts on maintenance and service. Also, take advantage of 12-month/12,000-mile warranties many dealerships offer.You’ll have to foot the bill for new car repairs or service if you head to a small mechanic.
