Default Say NO to dealerships

Just wanted to let you guys know. I just got my car back from the shop. I'm just over 90k. So here's what I had done and how much it cost. It pays to find a local mechanic.

Timing Belt Change (water pump, tensioners, etc... everything)
Snub Mount installed
Transmission flush (Replaced with Redline)
Transmission leak fixed (needed a new seal)
Spark plugs changed
Oil Change (Mobil 1 synthetic)
Replaced cabin filter
..along with some new hoses, filled up coolant, probably some other minor 90k tune up things.

total of $700. Can't complaine. Stealership would be well over $1000... oh, and he let me use his old BMW 525 as a loaner, for free!
