By Joe Marconi, an Elite Worldwide Blog - My roots in the automotive industry go back to the 1970s working in a small 2-bay autorepairshop. As a young technician, my goal was to attain the status of master-level. That meant that I was expected to repair or service nearly anything that rolled into my work bay.
A dealership is one choice, especially when many drivers believe they must go there to keep their auto warranty in effect. Another option is an autorepairshop that can offer a few advantages that can not be found at a dealership. Service and Relationships Matter Your vehicle is a large investment.
Certifications and Professional Affiliations Certifications and professional affiliations are also valuable indicators of a mechanic’s commitment to their profession and staying up-to-date with industry standards. We understand the unique needs of BMW owners and strive to provide exceptional service that exceeds expectations.
Professional repairs: Seeking help from autorepair experts can save you time and hassle, as they have the skills and equipment to diagnose and fix issues accurately, preventing further damage. Remember — a little preventive maintenance goes a long way in saving you time and money on autorepairs.
Verify Certifications and Qualifications Professional mechanics are typically required to have specific certifications and qualifications to guarantee their competence and expertise. Additionally, ask whether the mechanic or the repairshop has affiliations with professional organizations or industry associations.
