Why You Should Service At A Dealership

Posted by Motorama in Servicing Tips

In relatively short space of time the vehicles we drive today have changed from basically just having a chassis, four wheels and a steering wheel to each manufacturer putting in their own individual, specialized management systems for the engine, gearbox, electronics and safety features. This of course benefits the cars they produce greatly, but makes working on them and doing any repairs a lot more complicated. That's why it's so important you bring your vehicle to a specialized and accredited dealership with factory trained technicians. Here's three very good reasons why.

Complex Systems

It is becoming more and more necessary to be specialized and thus the factory trained technician of the dealership has this advantage.

Warranty

From a warranty repair angle there is also a great advantage to have work done at an authorized factory dealership; it might even be your only option. If a car is serviced within a dealership it will maintain the vehicles warranty integrity - but if it is serviced with an unauthorized mechanic it may require more proof of servicing history, parts used, etc to get some warranty assistance. Providing that the parts used (if non genuine) did not cause the issue. You also get a service guarantee: the same price at every factory dealership on the same car for the same service - which is not a guarantee with an outside provider.

Genuine Parts

At an authorized dealership you can rest assured that genuine parts are used every time. This includes the correct type of oil (as per manufacturers recommendations) and any other moving parts that are very delicate. Next to this you can count on factory trained technicians that each have their specialty and compliment each other within our state-of-the-art workshops. As an added bonus a dealership checks for any outstanding recalls or campaigns on the vehicle and have techs that are aware and have access to any updated information from the factory.

Self Service

Most vehicles built today have complex diagnosis systems that are always monitoring the car and its systems for issues. Many of these vehicles have warning lights and messages that appear on the dashboard. Ultimately, it's really up to you to be mindful when symptoms of car problems arise. You’ll need to be aware of strange lights on the dashboard, unusual smells or sounds, and anything else questionable that may not have warning indicators.

It's definitely time to visit Motorama Tyre & Service when there is squawking and grinding when you hit the brake pedal, or if you hear clicking, tapping and knocking while the engine is running. This is a sign that you need to have your car looked at immediately.
