10 Reasons To Service at Your Authorized Dealer

1. Protection - The average new car costs more than $30,000, so consumers can't afford to rely on anyone other than a top professional. New car dealerships offer the highest level of technical training, state of the art equipment, and factory specified parts.

2. Training - Dealers and manufacturers spend considerable time and money on continuous training to ensure that technicians are up-to-date on today's increasingly complex vehicles. Mercedes-Benz of Austin's technicians have over 1,400 days of cumulative factory training.

3. Technicians - Today's technicians must be electronics and computer experts as well as good mechanics; that is why new car dealerships offer the most experienced technicians in the auto repair industry.

5. Parts - Only new car dealers are required to carry or have quick access to an inventory of parts to cover all repairs to the cars and trucks they sell, assuring customers quick repairs and genuine parts.

6. Guarantees - A dealer's reputation depends on customer satisfaction, that's why dealerships guarantee their repairs. Plus, original parts also carry additional manufacturer guarantees.
