Unfortunately for me, I was reminded of this money-saving tip the hard way last week:
Do you need to get your car fixed or is it due for a maintenance check-up?
Services in Poland are generally cheap(er) than the States, but the parts can be exponentially more expensive.
I deal with two different dealerships for my two POVs and both let me bring in my own parts when I turn the vehicle in to be serviced. I buy the parts off the web (usually Rock Auto or Auto Parts Warehouse) and pay less than what the same parts would cost here. I’ve never once had the dealer as much as blink when I gave them the parts to be installed - and in fact, at least once he was relieved that he didn't have to order the part.
I’ve found the price of labor is generally far less than the same service from a dealer in the States. Where did I find the dealers? Google! Turns out there is a Dodge Serwis Center that you can literally see from my house.
Good thing I have a Dodge!
