When you need repairs or servicing for your Chevy, you always have the choice between visiting a dealer or going to an independent repair shop As your Chevy dealer, we want to tell you a few reasons why choosing a Chevrolet service center is the best choice to save you time and money.


Chevy-Trained Technicians

All our technicians undergo rigorous training. They qualify as mechanics and then attend advanced Chevrolet training. This training makes them familiar with every component in the full range of Chevrolet vehicles. In addition, regular training courses on new vehicles and vehicle features keep them up-to-date on new parts and technologies.

A regular mechanic, in comparison, doesn’t receive this advanced training. This makes them slower at identifying potential issues than our specialists. Regular mechanics also work on a wide variety of different makes and models, while our technicians spend their days honing their practical skills in servicing and repairing Chevrolet models. A faster service or repair translates into a lower cost to you for a higher quality of service.


Chevy Components

There are two types of components: Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket. OEM parts are made in the same factories that built the original parts for your car, and they’re identical in quality and durability. An OEM part will always fit perfectly, and has the same lifespan as the part it replaces. OEM parts are the only type of component we use on your Chevy, as they are the strongest and safest parts available.

Aftermarket parts, in contrast, aren’t made for your car. They’re designed to fit a variety of makes and models. Aftermarket parts may not fit correctly, which increases wear and tear on the part and can cause additional future damage. In addition, these parts are built using lower-quality materials, which decreases their working life even further.


Warranty

A warranty protects you against any unforeseen issue with a part or labor. All OEM parts carry a warranty, and our work is also covered by a warranty. This gives you the peace of mind to know that in the very unlikely event of an issue, it will be speedily rectified at no cost to you. These warranties are possible due to the knowledge of our expert technicians and the recognized quality and durability of genuine parts.

Aftermarket parts don’t have a warranty, as they’re not specifically designed for your Chevy. This means there’s no way to guarantee they’ll work to a standard level and for a standard duration. Independent mechanics may offer a warranty on their labor, but you would have to return to the same repair shop to have any problem fixed.

These are only a few reasons to choose a Chevy service center. If you’d like to know more, contact us today at Olson Chevrolet in Redwood Falls, MN.
