Authorized Mazda Service Centers vs Independent Mechanics: Technicians

The technicians at Cutter Mazda Honolulu are ASE factory-trained, so they know exactly what your Mazda needs. Not only have they been certified, but they undergo regular training every year to make sure that they are up to speed on the latest developments from Mazda. They also work on Mazda vehicles every workday! By comparison, not all independent mechanics are ASE certified, and those that are don’t generally work with just one automaker. They may also be using older tools; by comparison, the technicians at Cutter Mazda Honolulu have access to the latest and best Mazda tools for diagnostics and repair.

Authorized Mazda Service Centers vs Independent Mechanics: Parts

At a certified Mazda service center like Cutter Mazda Honolulu, the technicians will use only OEM and Mazda-approved parts and fluids when they perform any service. This means that your Mazda will have parts that are the same high quality as the ones being replaced, and which live up to Mazda’s stringent standards for quality, longevity, and safety. The aftermarket parts you find at independent mechanics don’t always have that same level of quality.

Authorized Mazda Service Centers vs Independent Mechanics: Convenience

Taking your Mazda to Cutter Mazda Honolulu tends to be a lot more convenient than bringing it to an independent mechanic, and this starts before you even visit us! We offer online service scheduling, which isn’t available at all independent mechanics. When you arrive, you will find a customer waiting area filled with amenities like complimentary coffee and tea, cable TV, and comfortable seating. We also work with almost every insurance, and we offer a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty on all repairs.
