Jeep dealers were already pretty few & far between downstate, and with Chrysler's "restructuring", things are a bit haywire. Two dealers close to us have lost their Jeep franchise, and the one picking up Jeep hasn't been authorized to hang signage on their dealership.
Right now, nobody really knows much about servicing Jeeps, and all the mechanics know a LOT less than the common knowledge on this forum. Took our '06 in last week for a tire rotation & the dorks couldn't even tell me which way they rotated the tires. Upon questioning the mechanic, he wasn't even sure where the spare was supposed to enter the rotation.

Does anyone know someone reputable anywhere near Decatur?

Lol.......My handywork is pretty much limited to home improvement. My husband & I don't have the proper tools (yet) for working on cars, and we certainly don't have enough knowledge. He's a little reluctant to poke around a vehicle as well. I plan on learning more, but I'm in the middle of trying to pass the CPA exam, and I tend to stay inside the house from December to March. Maybe I'll get more adventuresome under the hood & suspension come springtime.

Closest shop to you that I've dealt with is in Pontiac, IL. Probably a bit far.
