A car dealership may come with brand name power but this doesn’t make it a better option than an independent garage like Bodymek for getting your car serviced or repaired.
Research has revealed that 70% of UK motorists prefer to use an independent garage over a main dealership.
Here at Bodymek, an independent garage based in Northamptonshire, we explain why choosing an independent garage can benefit you.
Personal service
You will probably have noticed that if you take your car to a main dealership the only person you will speak to is the receptionist. Whilst this may seem more professional, you don’t get the chance to discuss the work that has been carried out on your vehicle with a professional.
Here at Bodymek, you can discuss your vehicles repairs and issues with one of our qualified mechanics face to face and ask them anything that you don’t understand.
Our team are always happy to take the time to listen to your concerns and explain to you how we can repair your vehicle. We will always discuss costs with you first before we carry out the repairs so there are no nasty surprises when you come to collect your vehicle.
Price Tag
Independent garages are able to offer motorists excellent value for money and are more cost effective than main dealerships with a lower average labour cost playing a major role.
When you visit a main dealership, you will find that you do not have the choice as to what type of product you would like to use, as they will use branded products which carry a much heavier price tag. Independent garages will have a vast range of products to suit every budget.
Mechanics at dealerships are specially trained to upsell unlike local garages who will simply advise you on what you need.
Supporting local
It is likely that an independent garage is less than a couple miles from your front door in comparison to larger dealerships that are usually located within town or city centres therefore making them more difficult to access. By using a local, family owned business (like us!) you are likely to have more flexibility, cheaper costs and supporting a local Northamptonshire business too.
You will also find that by supporting your local business, you won’t get overcharged and the more you use them, the more they will relay the cheaper costs to you.
Reputation
You will most probably hear about your local garage by word of mouth from a neighbour or friend. Having a business recommended to you by word of mouth will give you the added piece of mind that you will be looked after and treated well and not be overcharged.
If you are looking for your car to be repaired or serviced, why not give our friendly team a call on 01604 589179. We are always happy to discuss the issue with your vehicle either over the phone or face to face and will do everything we can to get your vehicle repaired.
