I do feel for the guy that took his precious watch to a hack shop for a service. But


how many of you send your car to an independent auto repair shop for maintenance?

i would think the majority would save a buck or two by taking their cars to independent auto repair shop. How would you know if they use genuine parts or cheap aftermarket parts?
