I absolutely "H-A-T-E" letting anyone else work on my cars (house or everything else for that matter). At most shops, something else always ends up broken or messed up when the car comes back and of course they deny any responsibility for the new problems. Instead they try to sell you more service to fix what they borked. I cringe when getting recall notices because there is no way around letting someone else do the work. Fortunately I have the ability to do 99% of the work myself and know a private shop run by local racers that will let me use the lifts, alignment racks, and tire mounting/balancing equipment. They are also the few people I actually trust to do the work right if I don't have the time or special tools needed for a repair.
