Wow, 5 out of 9 charged for work they didn't do. I knew there were problems at some of those chains, but I never would have expected that.

But I've always said that a good mechanic is like money in the bank. When I was still living in Tucson, I owned mostly Hondas, just so that I could take my car to a Honda-only shop called the Civic Center. The mechanic was top-notch, and the shop floor was so clean you could eat off of it.

I know a lot of people who have had good luck with Brake Masters, too, though. I guess it all depends on the people they hire.

I've had mixed results with dealerships, but luckily we have two dealerships nearby that have been really good to us (the Chrysler/Jeep dealership where I bought my KJ, and the Honda dealership where we bought our Odyssey).

CRAZY! I'm glad I did all my fluid changes myself this weekend.
