I've taken my 2003 VW Golf to Shores Car Care since 2006. Although I've had to invest in major repairs to keep my car going, the maintence costs still fall below a car payment. What I appreciate about this shop is that they talk to me about my car intelligently and respectfully, and they give discounts to offset expected (and unexpected) repairs/oil changes. I just gave my mom their free oil change that came in their monthly newsletter.
