Why Service My Car at an Independent Garage?
Here are four good reasons!
Personalised Service
Independent car garages bring a personal touch to auto service and repairs. Local car mechanics are always happy to help and will advise you on the best course of action whether your car needs a battery replacement, clutch repairs or brake service. The team at independent garages will care for you and your vehicle throughout the entire repairment process and will constantly update you along the way for better peace of mind. Your time is valued when you choose an independent garage over a dealership, and you’ll always be treated like family the moment you walk in the door.
Exceptional Value
What makes independent car garages different from dealerships is that their team is told to advise, not upsell. Independent mechanics let you choose how you’d like your vehicle to be repaired. You can opt to have your car fixed using genuine auto parts or more cost-effective aftermarket parts, which provide the same quality but at a lower price point. Your budget is not only considered, but it’s also respected at local garages.
Support Your Local Business
Shopping local is the best way to recycle money back into your town and stimulate your local economy. By servicing your car at an independent car garage, you’ll help a family thrive and a local business grow. After all, “When you buy from a small business, you aren’t helping a CEO buy a third vacation home. You’re helping a little girl get dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey, a mom put food on the table, a dad pay a mortgage or a student pay for college.” - Unknown
Dealer-Level Service
Independent car garages use the same dealer-level diagnostic and repair equipment that’s found at brand-name dealerships to deliver quality auto repairs. Independent mechanics even receive the same training as dealership mechanics.
