Choosing where you get maintenance for your vehicle can have a big impact on your commute. Choosing the wrong place could mean getting a lower-quality part, or spending too much for the services your vehicle needs. Instead, for the best value and quality over the long-term for your vehicle, trust the dealership experts at our service center! The Capitol Subaru service team provides outstanding customer service as well as exceptional care for your car. Find out below the four things we think you should know about national auto care franchises when considering where to bring your car the next time you need an oil change, fresh brake pads or other service.

4. They Service All Makes And Models
Though some smaller mechanic shops may specialize in domestic models, imports, or work only on a specific make of vehicle, most franchise service garages will work on just about any modern car.
Here's something our service center has in common with the national service chains. We don't only work on Subaru vehicles! After all, most internal combustion vehicles have similar engineering, and that means they have similar maintenance needs. If it's time for an oil change, new tires or other generic service for your vehicle, no matter what badge it wears, you can get the service you need at Capitol Subaru.

3. Their Technicians Probably Aren't Factory-Trained
However, when it comes to the sophisticated engineering of Subaru vehicles, Capitol Subaru stands above the rest. We've got the dealership-grade tools and training that means we know best how to care for your Subaru. It all begins with the training our technicians receive. The same folks who built your car in the first place are the ones that train our technicians. They've got the most familiarity and know-how when it comes to Subaru engineering -- and that means we can diagnose and fix the most esoteric and unusual problems that might be plaguing your car.
2. They May Not Use OEM-Quality Parts
At the Byers Airport Subaru service center, we use genuine Subaru parts -- the very same components used to assemble your vehicle at the factory. Why? Because that means we can count on proven quality, a perfect fit and all the latest updates, recalls and enhancements from Subaru. Whether it's new brake pads you need, a key suspension component or a new muffler, we're using parts built to work best on your particular Subaru vehicle.
When you take your car to a national service franchise, they'll most likely be using aftermarket components, since OEM components can only be found at an authorized Subaru dealer. Some aftermarket components may not provide the fit and quality of OEM. It could even mean you'll be back for more service sooner than you'd like. For the best results, trust the pros at the Capitol Subaru service center.

1. They May Not Always Have The Best Prices
There's one obvious reason why people take their car to these places instead of the dealership, and it's one we can sympathize with: they want to save money! Because we have the most sophisticated tools, genuine OEM components and factory-trained Subaru experts, our list prices are sometimes higher than what you might pay elsewhere. However, we believe you're getting the best value at CapitolHey, . We'll keep your car on the road longer, and we'll help provide all your vehicle's routine maintenance so it provides the best reliability as it ages. In our experience, that means you'll end up saving quite a bit of money down the road.
Don't forget: with special coupon offers available here on our website, you can save even more on the common auto care services your car may need at Capitol. That means you don't just get the best quality, you also get the lowest price!
