    Hi guys, most of the O/O (like you and me) dont want to use official dealers in case of problems or break downs, don't need to explain here why, everybody know the reasons, but for lack on info, most of the time we are force to use them.
    So I do have a proposition, why we don't make a thread (List) of all the good independent shops that we know of in every city listing they by State?
    I do know a couple of them like everybody In here, why not helping eachother to resolve problems? Breaking down the road isn't pretty, and not knowing who to call or where to go is terrifying for most of us. So i think all of us can benefit from this idea.
    Don't be shy, help a colleague O/O like you.
