Is it really better to service your vehicle at the dealership?

Q: With so many service options out there, why choose a dealership for maintenance?
A: Great question! At Lundgren Honda of Greenfield, we hear this all the time. While quick lube shops and independent garages are convenient, there are real advantages to bringing your vehicle to a dealership—especially when it’s one you trust.

Q: Isn’t dealership service more expensive?
A: Not necessarily! According to Kelley Blue Book, the average cost difference is only about $9—and dealerships often offer loyalty discounts or service coupons. At Lundgren Honda, we’re all about keeping great relationships with our customers, so we always aim to provide value.

Q: What about parts—are they different?
A: Yes. Dealerships use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts, which are made specifically for your car. That means better quality, perfect fit, and reliable performance—especially important for complex systems like electronics.

Q: Are dealership techs more qualified?
A: 100%. Our technicians are manufacturer-certified, trained specifically to work on Hondas, and have access to the latest tools and diagnostics.

Q: How does servicing at a dealership help with warranty?
A: It can save you money! Many repairs may be covered under warranty—and some warranties require certified dealership service to stay valid.

Q: Anything else that makes it worth it?
A: Absolutely. We keep detailed service records for you, which can boost your resale value. And when your car’s in the shop, we can often provide a loaner vehicle so you’re not stuck.

At Lundgren Honda of Greenfield, we’re proud to offer expert service with a personal touch. Come see why dealership care really can make a difference!
