If your car just isn’t running the way it used to, it might be time to bring it in for servicing. But is it better to bring it to an independent mechanic or visit your local dealership? Here are four reasons why taking your car to your dealer in Frederick, MD will get you the best Toyota service possible.
You’re Guaranteed Quality
When you visit an independent mechanic or buy parts from a private seller, you won’t be guaranteed good quality. You also won’t be working with people who have expertise in your make and model of car.

When you head to your dealership, however, you can trust that your car is in the hands of experts. The staff at the dealership work only with this brand of car and already know your vehicle inside and out. This allows them to offer you the very best quality possible.
Most Dealerships Will Offer Warranties
If you’re purchasing aftermarket parts, you’ll rarely be able to get a warranty when you make your purchase. This means that if you accidentally buy the wrong part or buy one that doesn’t work, there’s nothing to cover you financially. The same is true if you go to an independent mechanic for servicing.
But it’s not so at a dealership! Not all dealerships provide warranties, and not all parts qualify for warranties, but most of them do. This means that if, by chance, you get a faulty part, you won’t lose out on any money. Your warranty will make sure you get a part that works!
Getting Parts and Service at a Dealership Is More Convenient
Don’t expect to get your car back quickly when you bring it to an independent mechanic for servicing. Most of the time, you’ll have to wait at least a day or two for the work to be finished. And if your car needs parts, you may need to wait a few extra days if your mechanic needs to order them in.
At a dealership, the parts your car needs will most likely be on-hand already. Most minor repairs and replacements can be finished in just an hour or two at your dealership.
Dealerships Can Service Older Models
If you’re driving an older Toyota, independent mechanics may not know how to service your car properly. It may also be challenging to find the specific parts that your older vehicle needs.
Many of the mechanics at your dealership have years of experience working with your brand of car, and most of them will be knowledgeable enough about older models to provide them with the service they need. Dealerships will also usually have parts specific to older models available, so you won’t need to go out of your way to find them.
Toyotas are amazing and reliable cars, so it makes sense that you want to make sure your Toyota gets the best service possible. Going to a dealership for your car’s parts and service will ensure that your car lasts a long time.
