I live in South Florida. Do you know the best and cheapest place to fix my girl?

The cheapest place to fix your girl, is in your driveway/garage. Constantly read this forum and educate yourself regarding everything about your car. Type your year and model into the search and begin reading. Then when (not if...) you have an issue, you can hop back on here and find the post that relates to your car.


Dealerships here in Washington State charge $145.00 just to look at the car. Then when the repairs begin, they charge $450 an hour with a two hour minimum. Smaller European specialty shops run about 2/3s that amount (here anyway).


Case in point- I had a bore wash issue, the dealership tried to convince me my engine was dead and quoted me $7850.00 to fix the engine. I hopped on this forum, typed in "won't start" and read all the posts. Found a few that matched my occurrence and fixed it myself for 4 tbs of motor oil and two hours worth of my time.


Cheapest place? Your driveway/garage hands down...
