Default Second Opinion

It is great to have a reliable 'indie' to fall back on. Not all dealership are bad and not all 'indies' are good. So you have to rely on other people opinions on the service they provide.

You need to do your homework. Usually you can find YouTube videos on what need to be done and what to look for when a technician says you need something done.

I usually get a written statement of work and price before they begin to service the vehicle. I specifically tell the shop to get my permission if they need to charge me more. I have control of the cost.
