[recycled sixtie]

As long as the warranty is not compromised I would prefer to go to an indy shop. I have a Lexus extended warranty which I bought and they try to get me to go in at fixed times or mileage whichever comes first. So I get nailed for unnecessary oil changes and visits.

As an example of indy shop charges for a new battery in a 2002 Camry and a 2011 Lexus RX at the dealership the $$ amounts are 140 can and 310 can respectively.
The latter have to pay their big new buildings and large staff. I have a 100% trust in my indy shop guy and his 2 employees.

Cheers, Guy.
