If you want to help your vehicle last for a long time, it’s important to keep up with routine maintenance and to get any issues fixed as soon as they crop up. To do so, though, you have to determine which type of mechanic to take your vehicle to for service. Here are the reasons you should consider taking your car to a dealership service center like ours at Russell Honda.

Certified technicians

Technicians that work at dealerships like ours at Russell Honda are considered specialists in their field. Our technicians have received extensive training from Honda to ensure they understand your vehicle inside and out. That means they know how to fix any issue your Honda might have in the best, most efficient way possible. Honda also offers ongoing training programs, allowing our technicians to increase their knowledge base and continue learning best practices straight from the manufacturer.

Original Equipment Manufacturer parts

Dealership service centers only use Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts. That means these parts were made specifically for your vehicle and are exact replicas of the parts that are being fixed. Your corner garage might not use these parts and may instead choose generic brands. These parts aren’t specifically made for your vehicle and can cause problems in the long run.

Warranties

When you purchase a new car, you will receive a warranty that covers repairs your vehicle might need for a certain amount of time or distance. With Honda, that warranty covers your vehicle bumper-to-bumper for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Because of this, if you bring your vehicle in for service with us, the cost will likely be covered or be reduced compared to the cost of taking it into your local garage. Also, when we complete repairs, they will be covered with their own warranty, which means if it doesn’t work you can always get it fixed again.

As you can see, there are many benefits to servicing your vehicle at a certified Honda dealership. Visit our team at Russell Honda to learn more about what we can offer.
