3 Reasons to Service Your Chevy at Your Chevy Dealership

 

When you need maintenance or repair, the two main options are a dealership or a local mechanic. While these two options might seem identical, they’re very different in reality. As your go-to Chevy dealer in Vancouver, WA, we want to tell you a few of the service benefits of choosing us to keep your Chevy in great shape.

 

Expert Care, Genuine Parts, and Peace of Mind You Can Count On

Expert Technicians

Our technicians train as mechanics and then undergo advanced training at a Chevy factory to learn everything there is to know about all Chevy components and systems. This intensive training makes them experts at maintaining or fixing your vehicle. Their theoretical training is balanced by daily servicing and maintaining Chevys. Their knowledge and practical experience mean they can identify and repair issues faster and more accurately than anyone else.

In contrast, a regular mechanic spends their day working on many different types of vehicles. Their lack of Chevy-specific knowledge and experience means they will take longer to identify an issue, leading to increased repair costs. In addition, their lack of familiarity can result in a less-than-perfect repair.

 

Chevy-Approved Parts

There are two types of replacement parts: Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket. OEM components are manufactured by the same companies and to the same standards as the original parts on your vehicle. The only difference is that these parts were assigned as replacements instead of being used to manufacture another vehicle. They have the same lifespan as your vehicle’s original components and will always fit perfectly.

Aftermarket parts look similar, but they’re made specifically to fit a Chevy. They’re manufactured by many different companies and are designed to fit a variety of vehicle makes and models. They’re also not made to the same high standards as OEM components, so they have a shorter lifespan. Aftermarket parts may require adjustment to fit your Chevy, causing possible safety issues and increasing wear and tear on other vehicle components.

 

Warranty

Our OEM components carry a warranty due to their high quality and recognized manufacturing standards. Additionally, the labor our technicians perform is covered by warranty. These warranties protect you against any unforeseen issue, and if a warranty-related problem appears, it will be corrected at any Chevy dealer in the US at no charge.

In contrast, a regular mechanic shop doesn’t provide the same level of protection. Their aftermarket parts may or may not carry a warranty, so if a part fails, you may have to pay again for a replacement. If they do offer a labor warranty, it can only be used at the shop where the part was installed.

These are just a few benefits of choosing your dealership. Contact us today at Alan Webb Chevrolet in Vancouver, WA.
