Chevy Service Center vs Quick Lube

One of the most important Chevrolet service tasks – if not the most important – is an oil change. This is the best way to keep an engine healthy and running efficiently while delivering good gas mileage. It is, however, vital that you choose your service center wisely, and there are a few reasons to pick your Chevy dealership rather than going to a quick lube shop.

Inexperienced Technicians

While it may seem like the people at a quick oil change place know everything about cars, there’s a good chance that changing the oil is the full extent of their knowledge. Visiting our Chevy service center ensures confidence since our technicians specialize in one brand.

Cheap Parts and Fluids

You may think you’re paying for speed, but the reality is that their goal is to cut costs and raise profits, resulting in the use of cheap oil and filters rather than OEM parts. You’ll often pay a bit more at a quick lube shop than you would at a dealership. You’re also likely to overpay for top-offs that may only involve a few ounces of the fluid in question.

Unwanted Services

Another way that quick lube shops try to make as much money as possible is by recommending services you don’t need. Or, perhaps an employee will exaggerate an issue to get you to agree to a repair or replacement.

Don’t Trust Your Car to Just Anyone

To ensure you get a quality oil change – and not just a fast one – it’s crucial to bring your vehicle to a service center.  Your car will be in the best of hands at Phelps Chevrolet in Greenville, NC. Get in touch to make an appointment, and be sure to check out our current oil change coupons.
