Automobile Manufacturer’s Diagnostic Information is Now Available to Independent Repair Facilities which often offer a significant savings on repairs.

Tampa, FL

Gone are the days when you had to take your car to the dealer to be assured of the highest quality parts and service. Now independent mechanics like The Original Autohaus in Tampa, Florida have access to the exact same database of manufacturer specs and OEM parts as higher priced dealer shops.

A new consumer protection law forces manufacturers to share this information in the interest of promoting fair competition. The Original Autohaus takes advantage of this change in the law by offering the same high quality service for BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche, Jaguar, Lexus, Land Rover, Infinity, Acura, Ferrari and other top brands at a fraction of the cost charged by dealerships. Although the repair may cost less, the quality of the work is assured through a strict adherence to industry standards and manufacturer’s specifications.

“While we use the same equipment and parts, it’s our lower overhead that allows us to pass the savings on to the consumer. We simply don’t have to pay the same dealership fees,” remarked Marlon Gremli, President of The Original Autohaus. “When we first opened our doors in 1988, the manufacturers would not make their specifications easily available. Obviously they wanted to force consumers to come back to their dealerships and keep competition to a minimum,” he added.

Consumers can now save significantly on the most common repairs such as general maintenance, brakes, air conditioning, transmission, suspension and most types of repairs. The savings can range from 40-50% depending upon the nature of the work involved. For more information please visit, theoriginalautohaus.com or call 813-885-7911.
