I've brought in a couple of vehicles, and they have been great at finding the problem and fixing the specific problem. My experiences elsewhere often seem to be just spitballing fixes until one takes. The other guy might seem cheaper, but might end up adding more shop time and customer time (and more $ as a result!).
