I read multiple posts about poor service at repair shops. But what about Jeep dealerships? Aside from the pricing, do they do good work?
I own a shop and I'll tell you my thoughts on this...
Your question is a tad vague but I'll try to cover with what I assume you mean. I've been in the business a long time. Dealership (front end and back end) ...my own place etc.
A flagship dealer will have some advantages if working on newer machines like JL's/JT's. They immediately have the latest software with their electronic tools (diagnostic computers...You might call them scan tools...whatever) versus a place like mine might not be available for 6 months...maybe even a year....or until Jeep sells their info to Snap On/All Data, Matco, etc... now that said it's only an issue on a change over year...
Example being when JK switched to JL...the very first year there might be some new features on the JL I can't access from JK software but it's really minute.
Second thing...factory warranty. Again though this applies to a new(er) vehicle.
A dealership will have different levels of technicians.
There are those on the lube line. It's exactly as described. They lube, oil, filter all day on customer's vehicles and ones that will be going to the used lot.
Then middle of the road people who will do tires/brakes/exhausts...basically anything not engine nor transmission or differential related.
Then they have what's called a Master Tech.
These are the ones who've taken classes and now certified to replace engines and transmissions under warranty.
Speaking about TJ's none of the above apply. The last one ever made is now 16 years old and the first one made is 26 years old.
No new software there. Nothing under warranty any longer. Hell some dealerships might not even have a tech that's worked on a TJ. I know that might be hard to believe but dealerships have a fair amount of employee turnover.
Your best bet is to find an independent shop that is reputable. Using mine as example we have really good mechanics. They've cut their teeth working on all brands, problems, modifications, etc.
Independent shops (not all) but most will go above and beyond trying to build loyalty.
We don't get people by default for warranty work nor work on commission. (Midas/Monroe/pep boys)
We don't have deep advertising pockets for the television or billboards.
Our advertising is performance.
Good luck
