If you own a car, you know that regular maintenance is crucial for keeping it running smoothly and avoiding costly repairs down the road. When it comes to getting your car serviced, you have two main options: you can take it to a dealership or you can go to a local mechanic. But how do the pricing structures of these two options compare?
Traditionally, one of the advantages of taking your car to a dealership is that they typically have more specialised equipment and training, which can be useful for certain types of repairs. However, this specialisation often comes with a higher price tag. Dealership service departments tend to charge more for labor and parts compared to independent mechanics.
At Grimmer Motors, we strive to offer the same level of specialisation as a dealership, at a fraction of the cost! Our oils and equipment meet or exceed manufacturer recommendations, meaning your car’s warranty will remain valid.
Really? Tell me more…
At Grimmer Motors, we work on a significantly cheaper hourly rate compared to common dealership-owned repair workshops. For major repair work, this can save you hundreds of dollars on the final bill for essentially the same service/repair.
The savings also carry over to the parts we use. We use premium, high-quality parts as needed but also give you the option to use much cheaper (but still great condition) used parts.
