Service vs. Collision Center

Woodhouse oil change

 

In order to take great care of your car, you have to know where to bring it when necessary. Woodhouse Ford of Blair has you covered in all scenarios. This guide goes over our service center and the Woodhouse collision center so you can learn exactly what each have to offer. 

What Does a Service Center Do?

As the name implies, at a car service center, you can get maintenance for your vehicle. Your car needs certain tasks on a regular basis, including:

  • Fluid checks
  • Air pressure monitoring
  • Battery tests
  • Brake inspections

It’s a good idea to also have your vehicle inspected on a yearly basis. This allows technicians to take a good look at all major components to see if everything is in fine condition. And this allows you to get replacements for parts that could be wearing out. 

What Does a Collision Center Do?

While a service center will help keep your car running well, it’s a collision center you’ll need to visit if you get involved in an accident.

It’s here where you can get damage to the body fixed, install new windows or a windshield, and restore your paintwork. Techs can also check out your interior systems to make sure they haven’t been damaged in the crash.

When Should You Visit a Service Center?

It’s a good idea to follow a car maintenance schedule, which includes:

  • Fluid and air pressure checks every few months
  • Oil changes and tire rotations every six months
  • Battery tests and brake inspections every year

When Should You Visit a Collision Center?

Cleary, the time to visit a collision center is after you get into an accident. It’s important to remember that even minor crashes that just seem like little fender-benders can end up causing big problems down the road. 

This is why it’s worth having your vehicle looked at thoroughly, especially if insurance companies are involved.
