That's what I would reccomend too.


The only thing I use the dealership for are quick fluid changes (I'm prone to leaving the used oil in my garage for a couple months h: ) and occasional odd parts that I need that day.

Also, I hate to comment on this, but it always helps to take a guy (whether he be dad, friend, brother, boyfriend, etc.) with you. I get called by my female friends to help them when they go to mechanics' shops because nothing says money more to those people than a girl coming in saying "Something's broke, can you fix it?".
