Recently, when I take my car to an authorized dealer

for regular maintenance,

I feel like I am being ripped off by the dealer.

Well, it is a big problem in Japan now, but

I still feel some resistance when I am told by Americans.

I also feel uncomfortable taking them to Latino and Korean factories in the suburbs of LA.

I know there are several Japanese repair shops around Torrance, but

do you have any recommendations?

There are a lot of information in magazines, etc. and I am quite worried.

If there are any reliable repair shops near LA, please exchange information.

You trusted the repairman so much that you didn't even ask him how much it would cost to have the repair done. A relationship of trust between the repairman and the customer.

I can take this next maintenance to them because I trust them and
If I need a part, I buy the part myself and take it to them.

Car repair shop near my house I can buy my own materials for an oil change and take it to them
They do it for $25 cash.

Call me a pain in the ass, but
car and computer maintenance can be quite costly if you don't have a trusting relationship with them.
computers, if you take them to maintenance
they charge you $80 just to check them and charge you extra for maintenance.

I gave a gift of $100 each in cash to the owner and a young man who works part time
as a mid-year gift to thank him for his help this year.

Go and finish in silence.
You'll talk a lot when you get there.
You can judge whether you can trust them or not by how they talk to you.

Those who have trust.
The difference between those who don't have one and those who do can be clearly seen in the posts.

I would rather buy a car instruction book than go to the store for all the oil changes,
When I go to the dealer for maintenance on my car
I ask what kind of oil and filter they use and buy the same ones they use.
I feel safe to take good care of my car because my father, who was extremely poor, sold plastic bottles and empty cans to buy the car.
