Radiator service and the stuff nobody tells you
Your second option is to find a local independent mechanic. Independent mechanics shops may have a longer wait time and may take slightly longer to finish the repairs on your car due to waits for ordered parts. Independent mechanics' quality is also more variable than that of the chains: The very best mechanics go to work for themselves, and so do the average mechanics and the very worst. However, doing a little research beforehand will make it possible for you to find one of the very best. How do you locate one of the best mechanics? The world needs a central clearinghouse on mechanics, but unfortunately, that day has not yet come.
