And my hesitation for following your feedback has been that when I've asked for you to share your first hand (or second hand) experiences; there's never been a response, which makes your opinion come across as conjecture. If I ever missed concrete examples, please feel free to correct me. But it's tough to give as much weight to someone's opinion vs their experiences when it comes to these shops. As for my accident repairs, I'm not sure that you have enough information to make that judgement. Both the shop AND the insurance company conducted their own repair estimates. Every repair and part required approval from the insurance company, and the insurance co had defined guidelines for what they would pay for each. There was no robbing of the bank done by anyone. And looking forward to one day meeting you! In fact a few of us are getting together for a few beers tonight in Oakbrook (link to post). We can hash out the details of independent shops in person over a cold one if you can make it! And sorry OP for taking this thread off topic. Hope your walnut blast went well lol |

It is 2016, everything is on the Internet. It is up to the shop to have a decent website or Facebook page to advertise their service and communicate with the customer. Honestly, I would much rather to go to a shop with a good online presence than one can only be reached with a phone number on the backpage of yellowbook.
That said, members should aware of some of the posters (not in this thread, just to be clear) on this forum recommend their friends' shop even though much of their reviews have been negative. Hell, I know some of the shop even have fake reviews online. But they aren't too hard to spot if you do research and ask around. |

Has anyone found a place (or another member) with good results for under $300? I just started getting a random misfire on cyl 6 only at startup. I figure that I'm due for this service at 72K miles anyway, and will see if that may be the cause. Plugs, coils, and injectors are all fairly new.
