When it comes to maintaining your Honda, you have two choices. You can choose to take it to an independent mechanic or to a Honda certified service center. Choosing your local dealership over an independent mechanic offers several benefits you should consider before making your final decision. The staff of Rapids Honda of Coon Rapids, Minnesota provides professional service on every level. From the sales floor to the service department, visiting a dealership for all of your repair and maintenance needs ensures you get the highest quality service possible compared to what you will get from an independent mechanic.
One of your biggest concerns should be the skill and knowledge of the mechanics who will be working on your vehicle. With an independent mechanic, you can’t be guaranteed that they have the proper certifications for working on your vehicle. Without proper certifications, any work they perform may not be covered by the part’s warranty. If you go to a Honda certified service center, every technician is a Honda expert and only uses genuine Honda parts for all services. Their training and experience show that they have taken the necessary training and skillset to service Honda vehicles.
A certified Honda service center only installs the highest quality genuine OEM parts. These parts come directly from the manufacturer and are designed to meet or exceed Honda’s strict quality standards. Honda does not make third-party or aftermarket parts, so they are not tested to ensure their quality. Third-party parts may be less expensive, but they don’t meet the quality standards that Honda demands due to their unknown origins. Many independent mechanics choose to use aftermarket parts to keep their costs low and profits higher at your ultimate cost. The problem with this means that even though your final cost may be more affordable, the chance that your vehicle will need additional repairs is much higher.
Rapids Honda of Coon Rapids guarantees that every part we sell is certified to meet or exceed Honda’s strict standards of quality. Another guarantee offered by the dealership is that every technician that we hire has been properly trained and is able to service or repair your vehicle according to the specifications put in place by Honda. When you have the option to choose between an independent mechanic or a certified mechanic at a dealership, choose the option that provides you with the highest quality service.
