2 Reasons to Go to Your Dealership

Technically, you could spend your entire car-owning life without visiting a dealership. However, while a dealership can’t offer any unique services, there are plenty of reasons to rely on a dealership instead of someone else.

Buy a Car

Buying a car is obviously what a dealership is there for, but you can also buy cars online, through a classified ad, or through a friend. However, unlike most friends and private sellers, dealerships have the advantage of having a full service shop full of trained professionals who need to stick to a certain minimum standard. Used cars sold through a dealership are usually in much better shape than ones sold privately because of this. On top of that, a dealership is the only place where you can buy or lease a new car.

Service and Repair Your Vehicle

The things you have to do regularly for a car, like replace the oil and other fluids, swap out the wiper blades, put in a new air filter, and replace the battery, are all easy to do by design. Not everybody has the time, tools, and space to learn how to do these things, but you can find plenty of shops, garages, and neighbors who do. What makes dealerships stand out are the OEM parts with nationwide warranties, the factory training the mechanics usually get with the dealership’s vehicles, and the high-tech tools that fill the service garages.

You don’t have to go to a dealership, but there are plenty of reasons you should anyway.
