Christain brothers in Corinth. Of 35 on the west side. I think it's Brandon we use. I had a kwik kar tell me I needed $1500 worth of repair for a rattling noise I heard under me car. They wanted to replace all kinds of stuff in the engine. Went to christain brothers for second opinion...it was my muffler under the car making the noise. Saved me thousands. I didn't even need to replace the muffler it worked it's self out. And they didn't even charge me to look at the car.
Stay away from the chain shops.... places like Sun Auto, stuff like that....
We took one car to Sun Auto in Georgetown for the free analysis... they tried to tell us several things were wrong.. we knew there was something wrong, but we then took it to our trusty mechanic, and none of those things were a problem! They were just trying to sell high-priced jobs... (timing belt, stuff like that...)
Have you asked your friends and family? When I had car problems I was talking to my dd's daycare provider about it and she referred me to a nearby shop that has been awesome. If you lived near me, I'd point you in their direction. I hope you find someone!
We only allow the dealer where we purchased our cars touch our cars. That way, if ANYTHING is wrong, they have all the backup of everything they did and can't blame it on someone else's workmanship.
Sometimes the price is more but the peace of mind of knowing it is done correctly and being safe is worth it.
Good luck!
