It's not bad for getting parts but never let the mechanics near your
vehicle. I got into an argument with the mechanic about my *missing*
exhaust manifold gasket (between the manifold and downpipe) on my CJ7. He
said he wouldn't pass it until I bought one, when it wasn't listed in the
computer he said it was a dealer part.

The only thing I let them fix is my brakes (can't beat the price).

If they point out anything else wrong or needed, I nod my head and say
"Thank you". Then I get a second opinion and depending on the job
size do it myself, or let it ride a little longer and have someone
with a better reputation do it (dealership?).
