Is it cheaper to go to a dealer or an independent shop for repairs?

An independent shop is usually cheaper than a dealer for most repairs, often by 20 to 40 percent, because independents have lower overhead and more flexibility on parts sourcing. Dealers charge premium labor rates and almost always use the most expensive OEM parts, even when a high-quality alternative works just as well. The good news is that under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, using a qualified independent shop does not void your factory warranty as long as the work is done correctly with proper parts. Motoro Cars offers dealer-level expertise across 40+ brands, including EV and Tesla, at independent shop prices. We use OEM or equivalent parts, document everything, and back our work.
