[QUOTE="blazeplacid, post: 6333278, member: 581611"] some of these stories sound exaggerated, but anyways The local shops around the DFW area have always treated me well. Sure the prices are high but that's how shops make money Go to a mechanic and get an alternator put on. The alt might be $140 at the store but the mechanic will mark it up to $200 and then charge labor on top We are all spoiled by the online prices you can get a type R for $130 shipped, or pay close to $250 in store. I feel bad for the shop guys losing money, but at the same time the prices are high. I know the companies they are selling tell them to sell at a certain price, so you cant totally blame the shop for the price. [/QUOTE]
