When your tractor experiences issues, you have a few options: attempt a do-it-yourself repair, use an independent repair shop, or visit a tractor dealership's service department.

In many cases, it's most advantageous to visit a service department. Keep reading to discover why! For more information or to get your tractor serviced, contact the experts at Middletown Tractor Sales. Our dealership is based in Fairmont and Buckhannon, West Virginia, as well as Washington and Uniontown, Pennsylvania. 

1. Service Departments Own Specialized Tools

Some tractor repairs or parts replacements are more complex and require specialized tools. A tractor service department will have these tools on hand. They can get the project done easier and more accurately in ways that would be hard to replicate otherwise. The average individual won't have these tools and the average independent repair shop might not either.

These specialized tools also help the service department staff get the project done quicker. Since your tractor will be back into action sooner, you'll get to enjoy reduced downtime!

2. Service Departments Employ Trained Technicians

Service department staff have years of training and experience that other options can't rival. 

First, they can diagnose issues that others would miss. This can save you from a safety situation or a more expensive repair down the road.

Second, they can address issues effectively. DIY maintenance or poorly done work from an independent repair shop can backfire and cause more issues. Bringing a tractor to the experts can end up saving you money in the long run!

Third, service department staff receive ongoing training to keep up with the latest techniques. They can offer optimized service, which reduces tractor downtime.

3. Service Departments Have Access to Tractor Parts

Many dealerships maintain a large stock of tractor parts, allowing them to quickly handle a parts replacement. If they don't have the needed item, they can order it for you. In many cases, they can get the part faster or for less money than others could.

4. Service Departments Check for Recalls

It's not uncommon for tractors to end up with recalls, but it can be tough keeping up with these! Anytime you visit a service department, they will automatically check for recalls related to your tractor so you can stay up-to-date with any issues.

5. Service Departments Could Come to You

Some dealerships, such as Middletown Tractor Sales, offer road service. If your tractor breaks down in the field, we come to you! 

Many dealerships also offer help hauling the tractor to and from the service department. For example, we maintain a fleet of 28 trucks picking up and delivering equipment. Get the professional help you want, but with the added convenience of not needing to transport your tractor!
