Top 5 Advantages of using an Independent Automotive Repair Facility vs. the National Franchise Chain

* You Work With The Owner – The Independent Shop has no higher authority, you have a greater chance of working with the actual owner rather than a shop Manager. This is to the customers Advantage.

* No Franchise Fees – Independent Shops do not have to pay franchise fees, that results in a better price for the customer. Car Dealerships are very large advertisers in your local market, those costs are passed on to the consumer resulting in high prices.

* No Corporate Office Pressure to “Up-Sell” Repair Jobs – There is no high pressure conference call with the home office about the number of “fuel system services”, “radiator flushes” and “brake fluid flushes” they need to do this month.

* No Daily Numbers or Home Office Requirements – Independent shops do not have regional numbers to push on the customers.

* Independent Shops Have National Warranties – The National Chains want you to believe that they have the best National Warranties because they have coverage in all states. This is true, however independent shops have access to even better warranty coverage which allows the customer to use any shop in the United States. Ask your Independent Shop Owner about the details.
