Hey!  
  
  
  
 I just moved to Dallas, inside 635 near the tollway to be specific. I have a 2004 Infiniti G35 sedan nearing 50,000 miles and am looking for reliable and reasonable scheduled service. The car is in great condition, and I want to keep it that way. I prefer not to drive across the metroplex for service, if possible.  
  
  
  
 If you have a recommendation, please share your experience with the mechanic/shop.  
  
  
  
 Thanks!

Thanks, Whitey. I’ve checked out the link using my zip code. There wasn’t a lot of information, but it’s a place to start. I appreciate it!

Ask friends, neighbors, family, coworkers, etc for recommendations. It shouldn’t be that hard to find a decent independent mechanic.

Thanks, McParadise. Just moved here and don’t know many people yet, but will check with those I do know.
