Wondering who to go to when your check engine lights has been blinking? Would it be better to go to an established dealership, or would it be worth it to check out a more independent shop? We at Victory Toyota have several reasons why a dealership is a better investment for you and your vehicle today. Read on to learn why, and make an appointment today!
If you are a Salinas driver, your time is valuable and you deserve a mechanic who can efficiently get the job done. In this instance, a dealership mechanic is probably your best bet given that they have extra staff with a regular schedule equipped with more tool leads that can greatly decrease your wait time.
With independent shops, you’ll probably have to wait for them to order specific OEM parts which can take days or even weeks. A Monterey dealership, however, is more likely to have the OEM parts needed in their in-person or online inventory. If you are not sure what parts you need or how to install them, our friendly team at Victory Toyota is ready to help!

By now, it’s clear in the battle between dealership mechanics vs. independent shops, that dealerships have the advantage.
