I understand people using dealers if they have warrenty but I would much prefer to take my car to someone who appreciates it rather than just being another job on the calender.
Even simple touches like taking my car to hiQ to have the wheels balanced, they were fighting it out on who was going to do it. and even cleaned all the rims up aswell. Top Job in my opinion. Nissan and most dealers, just follow the handbook, and are not through and through trained mechanics - or a thoroughly as many others in my opinion. The 350z is a nice car to work on so I dont know why they put up such a fuss!
