Where is your Best Auto Repair Shop??

 

My son went out of state the other day and his car broke down. I went to help him and had to get his car towed to a gasstation to get his car fixed. Since we had NY licence plates, I was told that I got ripped off for the price..

What I am thinking is to get everyones favorte Auto repair spots and put them in a poi, This way, If someone needs one, Just look it up and can be more trusted than just finding the one nearest you.

What do you think?

They have fixed / maintained my old Ford for many years now. They're very honest, quick, don't over-charge and always try to find the cheapest, yet best solution for you.
(I have several examples with my car that would have cost me 100's, but they found alternative repair methods without asking (!), for much less money but getting the same reliable result)

Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.

I've got one for you

R & M Auto Repair is a couple of ex-Toyota techs who got tired of the way that things were handled when they worked for a Toyota dealership, so they struck out on their own. Both of these guys are good and will take good care of you. They are honest and won't rip you off. They are located at 635 Reading Road in Mason, OH 45040. The coordinates are as follows: -84.3186 and 39.35447. They work on all of the major Japanese and Korean brands along with Audi and VW.

Richmond, Va - BAD BAD BAD

Warning!! Although super nice guys, Danse Auto Repair are not good.

First problem - they couldn't diagnose. Said there wasn't anything wrong. After going through the ODB error codes (as found via a Google serach) I told them to replace the MAP Sensor. Problem fixed. Second problem, troubling starting the car (delayed turnover). Told me couldn't find anything specifically wrong, suggested flushing the fuel injectors (for $200). Problem NOT fixed. Sorry, but that's 0 out of 2.

American Petroleum Quarterfield (Fuel/Service Station)

This is a great place to get maintenance and mechanical service done in this area and their prices are very good, I've done a lot of the work on our cars in the past myself but we find ourselves using them more and more often these days.

FYI - I'd put this guy up against anyone for mechanical repairs, so if you need serious work done on your engine like a blown head gasket, etc., they pretty much can't be beat. If you need someone to diagnose a tricky fuel-injection problem or some other relatively high-tech issue, that isn't really the guy's strong suit so you're probably better off taking it elsewhere if you're not comfortable handling those types of problems yourself.

Overall though, it's a great place to get your car fixed.

I'll get the GPS coordinates and post them later if anyone is interested.

The Best Repair Shop...

...in my opinion is the repair facility owned by AAA Mid-Atlantic. My son and I have been going there ever since we found out about it 3 years ago. I have recommended it to a number of people. All of them have wound up taking their cars there and none of us have EVER had any problems with this location.

You don't have to be a AAA member to get service but if you are you get a discount.

This is the only place I have ever taken my vehicle where I don't have to ask for an estimate because I KNOW I'm not going to be ripped-off.

They are located at 7777 Brewster Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19153. The telephone number is (215) 796-6067.

If a POI file is done maybe it can show what repairs are done at each location (transmission, motor, general, etc.)

Falcon, it sounds as if you are unaware this great file is available for download. bobkz has made it available for years. What we need is for the members to step up and make it really worthwhile -- out of 75K members we can only get less than 300 recommendations???

--
Nuvi 660 -- and not upgrading it or maps until Garmin fixes long-standing bugs/problems, and get maps to where they are much more current, AND corrected on a more timely basis when advised of mistakes.

A update is on its way..

Ok.. there has been many of the users here asking for a update on this file..

I am compiling the data that was left for me and now in the process of making a new file..

What I would ike is more of the users here to give me more information for this file.

If you do, i will add it the the database (including your Screen name unless you dont want that) then send the screen names to Miss POI so that you will get the credit too.

So come on, lets make this a even better poi file so that more people can use it.

BTW, i have been told by a few users that this file came in handy and they saved some money when they broke down on the road.. They trusted the guys that worked on the car!

So come on, give me your place to get your car / Van / Truck / Camper / or anythnig else fixed!!

Wow!!

I had only 1 user give me information to update this great POI fi.. Come on.. this is a great time to be part of a great poi file and all..

I am really amased that no one has steped up and gave us more places to put in.

Will give a few more days and then update but maybe I should just give up since no one seems to really care..

WHAT SAY YOU ALL..

Are you sure it is only loading 50? Or are you reporting that your nuvi only displays the 50 nearest your present location, which is normal operation. Try this ... Where To > near > a different city > (enter a city in a distant location) > Extras > Custom POIs. Then see if you get a different set of 50 near that location.

Outsourcing.

bobkz wrote:

That is nuts. Outsourcing IT may look good on the bottom line, but IMHO it is seldom a good idea for the overall health of the organization in the long run. What are they thinking? I'm glad I am now retired (after 34 years in IT) and no longer have to worry about losing my job to outsourcing.

Best of luck in your job search.
