3 Benefits of Going to a Lincoln Dealership over an Independent Mechanic

​​​​​​​If you need servicing or repairs to your Lincoln, you always have the choice of visiting a dealer or an independent mechanic. As your Lincoln dealer in Houston, TX, we’d like to tell you about some of the dealership benefits of choosing us for all your repair and servicing needs.

3 Dealership Benefits of a Lincoln Dealer Over an Independent Mechanic

Certified Technicians

Your Lincoln isn’t the same as any other car. That’s one of the reasons you choose it. A Lincoln is built from high-quality materials and packed with advanced technology. Repairing a Lincoln requires technicians who under everything there is to know about your car. All of our technicians are trained mechanics and then undergo advanced training at a Lincoln factory.

The advanced certification our technicians receive makes them experts in Lincoln repairs and maintenance. They can work faster and more precisely than a normal mechanic, and they can identify potential issues that an ordinary mechanic might miss. In addition, our technicians have a wealth of practical experience to draw upon, as they work with Lincoln models every day.

Genuine Parts

Your Lincoln is built from genuine parts, also known as original manufacturer (OM) or original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. OM parts are made by Lincoln itself, and OEM parts are made by companies chosen by Lincoln to supply specific components. OM and OEM parts are scientifically designed and engineered for your Lincoln model.

These parts will always fit correctly and work the same as your Lincoln’s original components. Independent mechanics, on the other hand, usually use aftermarket parts. Aftermarket parts are cheaper than OM or OEM parts, as they are manufactured from inferior materials. In addition, aftermarket parts are not specifically designed for your Lincoln. This means they will require adjustment and will have a shorter lifespan.

Warranty

All parts we use carry a warranty, and our technician’s labor also has a warranty. These warranties confirm that the parts will work under normal conditions for a specific time and that the repair or service has been completed correctly according to the strict requirements required by Lincoln. In the very unlikely event of a problem with a part or labor, this problem will be corrected timeously and for free.

An independent mechanic may offer a warranty on their labor, but they don’t offer a warranty on aftermarket components. Since aftermarket parts aren’t designed for your car, their potential working life can’t be guaranteed. A warranty on labor by an independent mechanic will also require that you return to the original mechanic to have a problem corrected.

There are many other reasons why your dealer is the best choice to service and repair your Lincoln. If you’d like to know more or to visit our service center, call us today at Bayway Lincoln.
