I only like specialized shops b/c that is all they do. They don't just do anything half assed like chain stores. Would you take your car to Pepboys to have a timing belt changed or would you rather go to a shop that specializes in Hondas? True on the chain store audio employees. Their skills may be good enough for the mom or dads that just want some audio work done, but they'll never be good enough for us Honda Heads! :thumbup:
