VIDEO from Synaptic Digital and General Motors: Corner Garage vs. Dealership Service
NEW YORK, July 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Recent studies have shown consumers are keeping their cars longer; in some cases up to 150,000 miles or until their current car dies. Proper maintenance is the best way to keep a car on the road. But when it comes to keeping your car in tip-top shape who's the best bet, your local garage or the certified dealership?

Until recently, it was believed that once the manufacturer warranty ran out, mom and pop shops were the way to go for similar service at cheaper prices. Now, with increased technology and more complex cars, drivers may want to stick with the dealership. Unlike independent shops, these facilities have certified technicians trained to service specific makes and models. They also offer parts made, engineered and tested for vehicles that meet factory standards.
In addition to manufacturer-made parts and services, dealerships are also fighting back with competitive pricing. In fact, Goodwrench dealers Buick, GMC and Chevrolet have all introduced "Everyday Value Pricing," which guarantees they will meet or beat other service centers.
