Yardley, PA -- (SBWire) -- 06/02/2016 --"There are many benefits of getting your repair work done locally, rather than the dealership" said Tom Cooper, the longtime owner of a well-respected Yardley repair shop called Big Oak Citgo. For car owners these days, Cooper recommends they "consider taking their repair work to local shops instead."

Big Oak Citgo just released a write-up on its site explaining why replacing the dealership with a local place for repair work is a smart move.

"The internet has really changed things. With Yelp, Facebook, Google Maps reviews and the like, bad customer reviews can be crippling for businesses," Cooper said, acknowledging that local shop owners are more conscious of their perceived images today. Big Oak Citgo has been revered by car owners in Bucks County for over 20 years, for its friendly and knowledgeable staff and honest prices.

His business' article also explained that dealerships often have high turnover rates among mechanics. "At a shop comparable to Big Oak, turnover is low so you'll get the same people time and time again who really know your car. We're in the business of building relationships," he said. The article compared the experience of finding a solid local mechanic to that of having a trustworthy barber.

Big Oak Citgo reminds customers on its site that it depends on long-term relationships, and strives to continuously build their trust. To read the article in full, or to make an appointment, please visit Big Oak Citgo's website. The shop can also be reached 215-310-0598.
