I took my Z to a highly reputable independent mechanic for the 30k service. Including a front brake job (which I already knew was going to be needed before I brought it in), the final damage was only about $230. Much cheaper than what the dealership would've tagged me for.

Good one June... I'm guessing that a lot of readers missed the subtle reference though.

I wonder if it tickles.

I tried to prove to myself that all you guys ever think of is cars...cars...cars.
For a minute there I began to worry, but I was wrong...
...It is good to know that there is at least one guy in the crowd that can differentiate cars from boats.
kisses,
June
love at first sight...

I think what it really comes down to is that most or general public people can't really be sure if they are getting the right service that the dealerships recommends or actual work done and completed from the dealership.
So I would like to tell everyone that if they know a good mechanic in their neighborhood, then they should become friends with them and learn how to trust them.
