My buddy has one of those behemoth Infinity rebadged Nissan Armadas things, and she needs some work on her power steering. Right now the dealer is trying to bend her over like my mother on 2 4 1 shot night at the road house. I had a really good shop I took my Beemer to off circle behind Bambino's but I can't remember the name.

But there are a few quality mechanics her and several good experiences, so whats a good foreign shop around here?

My cousin just opened his shop on N. Nevada. Just tell him Dallas sent you (or her) and he will give out the hommie hook up.

I also heard they have a guy up there that can weld like it's nobody's business.

The number is 260-1011 and the name of the shop is Academy Transmission and Automotive. I believe the name will soon be Academy Automotive though.

Anybody else see the pattern here? Dallas seems to have cousins and Aunts all over the place. I'd ask how that would come to be but it's really not hard to imagine coming from the single wide....

So this morning. my buddy thanks me. She went to see your cousin, and he quoted her $500 less than the dealer wanted, plus an additional 10% for military. Then he basically told her the work didn't need to be done, and explained why. Offered to do it anyway if she wanted peace of mind. She was quite impressed with the whole deal, and that he would talk his way out of a reapair job. She went with his opinion and even though he didn't turn a wrench on her truck, he earned a pretty loyal customer. She brought in a stack of business cards and put them in our cafeteria downstairs.
