Certified Jeep Technicians vs Independent Mechanics: Technicians with Jeep-Specific Knowledge

Though local independent mechanics are usually ASE certified, the Bluebonnet Jeep technicians have been Mopar trained and certified. They also work with Jeep models every workday. This means that they know Jeep specifically, inside and out. All the quirks and the things that make your Jeep a Jeep? They know all about those, so they know exactly what your Jeep needs. Their Jeep-specific knowledge and experience set them apart from mechanics who may work on Jeeps a few times a month.

Certified Jeep Technicians vs Independent Mechanics: Parts

Certified Jeep service centers like Bluebonnet Jeep use OEM and Mopar-approved parts and fluids(transmission, brake, and coolant), while independent mechanics tend to use aftermarket parts. The difference here is a lot more stark than you might at first imagine. OEM parts have been through a series of stringent tests to make sure that they live up to Mopar’s quality standards. They're guaranteed to fit with your Jeep and to provide quality, safety, and longevity. The same isn't always true of aftermarket parts. Sure, some may be high in quality -- but many others are made from lower-quality materials, or corners are cut in manufacturing. They may not be as safe or last as long.
