Even with all the modern auto technology, cars are not designed to last indefinitely. Vehicles require maintenance on a consistent basis.
Where is the best place to bring your car for Toyota repairs in Baltimore, MD?
Our Dealership Repair Department
Car dealerships have their own maintenance center, and this is where we suggest bringing your car for repairs. The technicians working under our Toyota dealership are certified to service Toyota models. This means they underwent the education and hands-on training approved by the manufacturer as well as the dealership.
Another reassurance is that all parts used are OEM parts, meaning they’re supplied by the manufacturer and designed specifically for your car make and model.
Independent Auto Shop
You may also elect to bring your vehicle to a third-party auto shop. Many car owners go this route because prices are generally lower. There are, however, several disadvantages with independent auto centers. Let’s examine some of these drawbacks:
- The auto mechanics are generalists and may not have the expertise to work on your specific make and model.
- Replacement parts may be from aftermarket manufacturers instead of OEM parts. This may also null manufacturer warranties.
- Some replacement parts may be refurbished rather than brand new.
