I just want to stand right there while there working on it and tell them everything theyre doing wrong, and make sure theyre treating my baby nice. :D I dont trust grease monkeys.

Only place my car has ever been besides my garage is the Honda dealership in Duluth whom I trust. Other than a few greasy fingerprints they were fine. I would not take my car to any JoeShmo Shop though, if I can't do it myself I'll either have a reputable dealership or respected shop do it.

As for my "beaters" or whatever, I could careless what place(s) works on it aslong as they warranty their work.

yeah, I just had the recall on my car (transfer case) looked at, at brookdale mitsu. Thats about the only time i'll take it anywhere for anything.

If I can fix it my self and you guys can help me. I will only go to this place on 55. Good guys. The only bad thing is they do not do trannies.

Then why don't you do it yourself?

because its a transfer case recall. I dont think they'd take my word for it if i needed a new transfer case.

I'd hate it if someone watched over my shoulder while I worked. For the most part I trust service techs. I guess I've never really had a bad experience besides the one time my Talon smelled like burning clutch...it was a good alignment though so I didn't really care.

I would tell you to help or leave. They could have sent you to the waiting room.

I said i just WANT to. And if you can't perform your work while being watched then I wouldnt want you working on my car to begin with.
