Let a local mechanic shop do your major repairs or have the local dealership you bought it from do them ?

So i'm not under warranty any more and this head gasket with water pump is estimated to cost 4100 , that sounds a little Pricy, i'm going to check later with local mechanic's to see what their prices are.

So what do you people prefer , Would you go with the dealership to do your major repairs or local mechanics ?

PFFT Just sell it to someone as is, and buy a $4,000 Toyota or Honda car.

Dealerships charge more for parts and labor.
A mechanic should be less expensive... sometimes much less expensive.

Take it to a local repair shop. Dont feed the greedy big business. Support local small business. That means stay away from the big chains as well as the stealerships. Alot of techs come from stealerships after they get tired of being abused like illegal workers.

Stay away from the dealership. They wanted $900 for part and labour to fix a censor. I ordered the sensor on line for $35 bought the tool to install it for $12. It took 15 minutes maximum to change total from start to finish. Find a Mr fix it and get it done. The cost was 1/4 hour labour as it should be. Even 1 hr would be ok but the costs of the dealership is highway robbery.

They rip you off in fixing time and part costs.

I wouldn't let a dealership do anything to my car unless it was the last resort or covered warranty work.

Always buy extended warranty and service at dealership.
When warranty runs out, go for cheapest repairs at shops with good Yelp reviews.
