Default Got Two Questions for you guys and gals...in the DFW

1. Where is a good paint shop? I got rock chips on the front of my Z and want to get it fixed

2. What is a good shop to get a tune up? I usually go to dealerships but they are really to expensive for a complete tune up..

Thanks

well - search is your best friend, Im pretty sure everything you need to know or want to know is available on this site...but since your a noob (only judging by post count) here ya go..

1. https://my350z.com/forum/6399455-post80.html

2. Check your manual and see what all is done. Depending on your mileage, it may not be all that much and you could do it yourself... you could certainly save yourself some $$ and it will make you feel better when you get the quote from the dealership.. and it will give you a reason to buy more tools..

Dealer quoted my friend about $200 to change the spark plugs. We got a case of beer and was able to get everything changed out in about 45 minutes.

Dealership is only useful for warranty and financing in my opinion. Wouldn't touch them otherwise.
