Hi All,
long time lurker first time poster. My wife and I moved to North Scottsdale, AZ recently. For the most part I do almost all the repairs and maintenance on our cars myself (2017 Nissan Frontier 55k, 2015 Nissan Rogue Awd 65k) these are fairly easy to work on and the Rogue has a Carmax warranty (will get into this later) so I don’t usually have to do anything but maintenance and parts changing repair stuff.
When we lived in Houston I accidentally stumbled upon an awesome mechanic who would do very high quality work at a reasonable price. I’d use him if either I had gotten in too deep for my skill set or I had a weird repair that would require a lot of special tools I’d never use again (Cornerstone Auto on S Dairy Ashford was the shop btw).
Two pronged question, first and selfishly if anyone has a good Indy shop recommendation in Scottsdale/PHX I’d appreciate it.
Secondly is there a good checklist or way to evaluate a shop before giving them your car? I know it’s easy once you get a car back (usually lug but torque is a first sign) yelp is useless for this kind of thing.
Reason for this topic is that I had the Rogue into Carmax in Houston for about 5 weeks for front end noise, I trailered it here but it’s going to have to go back in since the noise is still there and worse than it originally was. I don’t want to keep giving it to Carmax to swap more parts (it is nice that they basically replaced the entire front suspension) in and not fix the problem.
