Dealer or independent shop?

For warranty work and recalls, go to the dealer. For routine maintenance and most repairs out of warranty, a good independent shop is often cheaper and just as capable. Keep receipts either way.

Before you goCheck if your car has any open recalls first.
Ask the shop“Do you use original parts or aftermarket, and is there a warranty on the work?”
