Looking for a good shop near Allentown, PA I recently moved up to Macungie, PA now I need to find a new shop to take my vehicles (when needed). The Chevrolet dealership wants over $550 to change a water pump on a 2005 Chevrolet trailblazer. Before I dish out the cash to the stealership, does anyone recommend a local shop that does good work at a more reasonable price?
Thanks in advance,
Carl

Because it is about 10 degree with windchill outside and the garage at our townhouse is about the same size as our bathroom (seriously there is about 4 inches from front bumper to the wall and about 6 inches from back bumper to garage door).

I know the Chevy Dealership in town has Labor Rates 99$ per hour, which is getting kinda nuts. Anything out of warrentee I gotta fix so thats definitly not an option anymore.
I am fighting with them now over a Horn issue on my Wife's 2007 HHR, Intermitten. I have proven it does not work, they cont. to f*ck around but they are still on it. Next step after swapping/replacing relays is to replace the horn but that has been 3-4 trips, 2-3 over night stays for something that was proven the first trip. Talk bout dragging feet.

Yea, thats about where what I see for local shops, Dealerships trying to get every penny. We have a local perf. shop that is about 75$ but he is very creative with the pen in terms of how many hours he charges, so I know the tricks. I got a brother that runs a shop and he has been doing it for years. I tend to go to him for free stuff when I can or get access to a lift when needed.
