Description

When comparing "Big Box" auto retailers (like stores that sell a wide range of items) to auto dealerships and independent repair shops, the key differences lie in pricing, customer service, and expertise. Dealerships often offer brand-specific expertise and convenient service, but may have higher prices. Independent shops typically provide more competitive pricing and a wider range of vehicle expertise, but may not always have the same access to OEM parts as dealerships.
