When you need an urgent repair or your vehicle is simply due a service how do you decide whether to use a main dealer or independent garage?
One of the main factors that divide an independent auto garage from a franchise dealership is service. At Alton 4×4 we pride ourselves on our professional and friendly customer care; here we take a look at the main reasons why many local customer choose us over a main dealer.
Personal Service
Independent garages grow through reputation – and reputation grows through consistent, reliable customer service. Where larger main dealers can become complacent about service levels, independent garages have to work hard to build and maintain an excellent level of service – for our customers this means we provide you a personal level of care that can’t be matched in main dealer garages. As an independent garage you will often get to speak directly to the mechanic working on your car and find out exactly what the issue is and the options available to you.
Value
Franchises and main dealers have fixed overheads, with a substantial amount committed to branding – this cost is ultimately passed down to the customer resulting in higher service costs. As an independent garage Alton 4×4 are able to make our own budgeting decisions and as a result are able to offer you more competitive pricing than main dealerships or franchises.
Whilst we do offer OEM parts in some instances we are also in a position to offer high quality alternatives for those on a more restricted budget.
Main Dealer Quality Without Main Dealer Prices
Our technicians have the same experience, knowledge and training as large dealerships so can offer you a like for like standard of service. Our head technician trained as a Land Rover mechanic for 15 years, reaching Senior Master Technician level and we have invested in the most up to date diagnostic technology to fully test your vehicle. At Alton 4×4 we provide the same high levels of quality and expertise you would expert from a main dealer with affordability in mind.
