Find a local place you can trust....even if they charge a bit more. I go to a private owned shop on Lincoln st, newton highlands, massachusetts. My brother told me they were good....first time I dropped by, the owner "talked me out of" buying 4 expensive snow tires on rims from him. He said my existing all weather tires looked fine. I knew I had found the right place to do business.

Go to your dealership if you don't do it yourself.

i used to work at EZ lube in southern cali a few years ago. they are the shadiest company ive ever seen. you have to maintain a "ticket average" of upsells, and you are expected to keep atleast an average of 60-70. well an oil change is roughly 30 bucks, so that means they expected you to rip off every single person that came in. the "top techs" were averaging a 100 dollar ticket average. we would often not even do the services too. many times oil filters were not changed. its a criminal busines

not illegal, just inaccurate. Problem is that most people don't follow their manufacturers recommendations on service intervals. So what other method is there? So follow your owners manual and you won't get screwed.

Honest mechanic is an oxymoron. Especially in Florida. Doesn't matter if you're white, black, woman or man, old or young, or anyone else they rip off EVERYONE.
