Dealer service departments are, on average, 25 percent more expensive than local shops, according to the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association. Their customer service may not be as good as the dealership (i.e. loaner cars, etc.) but the parts they use are comparable to that of the dealer. For a $200 auto maintenance bill, you can put $50 in your Wish Jar if you find a good local auto repair shop.
