When you need a repair, you always have the choice between your dealer and a local repair shop. As your GMC dealership, we want to tell you some of the most important service benefits you receive by choosing us for your repair.

Expert Knowledge
Our technicians are experts at GMC servicing and repairs. Once they complete their training as mechanics, they get advanced training at a GMC factory to learn everything there is to know about all the systems and components in every GMC model. Once their training is complete, they focus on maintaining GMC vehicles. This training and experience allow them to work faster and more efficiently than any other mechanics.
If you go to a local mechanic, they can’t provide the same care and attention. Regular mechanics don’t have the same specialized training in GMC models, and their practical experience is also more limited as they work on many different vehicle makes and models. This lack of experience, unfortunately, can result in a less-than-perfect repair.
Specialized Equipment
Your GMC contains many highly sophisticated systems, like the computer and its large network of sensors. These systems require specialized equipment to service, repair, reprogram, or recalibrate them. As your dealer, we have the latest cutting-edge equipment and software from GMC, which is designed for these systems and ensures we can provide the highest standard of repair.
A local mechanic doesn’t have the same equipment and technology. Their systems and tools are generic, as they don’t focus exclusively on GMC vehicles. Lack of the right equipment can compromise a repair and potentially cause additional problems in the future.
Warranty
Warranties are essential as they give you peace of mind that if something does go wrong, the issue will be fixed. All the parts we use are GMC-approved and carry warranties that they work efficiently for at least a set time period. We also provide a warranty on our labor due to our technician’s high standards and the tools and equipment we use. In the very unlikely event of any issue, it can be corrected by any GMC dealer in the US at no charge.
Local mechanics use aftermarket parts in their repairs, as these parts are cheaper and easier for them to get. Aftermarket parts don’t carry warranties, as they’re not specifically designed or tested on your GMC. If a part fails, you have to pay for its replacement. They may give you a labor warranty, but if something goes wrong, you must return to the same mechanic to fix it.
These are some of the many reasons to choose your dealership for the perfect repair. Contact our service department at Marquardt of Barrington in Barrington, IL.
