I'd say the best way to make sure your car is getting done right is to actually talk with the people who work on your car and find a person who you can trust to do quality work and try and stick with that person. There's alot of repeat customers where i work that come in and say "i want XXXX to work on my car"....just some advise to people who don't/aren't able to work on their car.

Yeah, obviously, I wasn't bashing the whole "mechanical technician" world, just sharing my indirect bad experience with that Wal-Mart. It is a rant, and a very common one. They're not all bad, but many of them are. Many people just don't care about other peoples' stuff.

But, I agree with you, I have a small list of places I go to for certain things when I need to take my car somewhere when I can't or don't want to do it myself. These places are places friends tell me about and has had experience with themselves. I am a big "return customer" and when I find a good place after a lot of research, I stick with it. Also, if I go to a place to get something done to the car for the first time, I watch the mechs like a hawk and they know it. they also have a good idea that they are not dealing with a pushover who knows nothing about cars. I make sure to check their work thoroughly if possible and if there are any problems , we're gonna get them resolved.
