Dealership vs Non-Dealership Servicing

​Regular servicing is a key part of proper vehicle maintenance, and will ensure your diesel vehicle stays running smoothly for longer. Whether you bought new or used, it’s important to note you don’t have to book servicing appointments with the dealership. A Perth mobile diesel mechanic is able to provide you with the same services and more in comparison to a dealership. Learn why a mobile mechanic beats a dealership for your servicing needs. 

​Cut the costs with an independent mechanic 
Dealerships have big overhead costs that are reflected under the fee for manual labour in your servicing bill. Servicing your vehicle with a Perth mobile diesel mechanic will cost you less, as they don’t have the corporates breathing down their necks. Independent diesel mechanics can offer non-genuine parts that differ from original equipment. This will reduce the cost of part replacement in your vehicle. Think of it like buying generic products rather than branded- even though you’re buying the same item, branded products will generally be much more expensive.
 
A more convenient service 
When you get your diesel truck or vehicle serviced at the dealership, you have the additional cost of travel to and from the service centre. Even if the dealership offers complimentary replacement cars, you will still have to pay for the fuel you use whilst driving the loan car. DieselWest, on the other hand, can send a mobile Perth diesel mechanic to you! This means getting on with your day and not having to waste time waiting around the dealership for your car to be ready.
 
A mechanic you can trust 
Dealerships are regulated by the times specified in the manufacturers service logbook, and therefore have a potential incentive to pass over difficult servicing jobs in preference for easier services. However, an independent mechanic is able to take the time required to properly service your diesel vehicle – no rushed jobs! Seasoned mechanics who work for independent shops are able to draw on their wealth of experience for the much more complex diesel vehicle repairs.
