One thing that you should know is that dealerships usually charge a heck of a lot more – so that is something to keep in mind.  Really, any competent mechanic can perform routine maintenance and repairs on your cars, you don’t necessarily have to go to the dealer, however if you need a warranty or recall repair, you will have to consider going to the dealership.

This is because these mechanics actually receive factory training from the manufacturers of the cars, so they know how to handle these repairs.
