Anyone know of a good independent shop that they trust and do good work without completley raping you on the price?

 

The one I currently go to:

Great work, knowledgeable and you never have to make an appointment, it is in Lake Bluff however. Honestly the place is a gem because it is hidden off of the road and some may not know about it unless they stumble upon it like I did (fuel pump gave out literally 100 yds from their entrance)

One I had gone to in the past:

Great work, in Chicago (right next to Ravenswood Metra) but I no longer go here. This is not because of their work, but they got shifty with me when I could get factory parts at half their cost and they wouldn't install. Way to lose a loyal customer.

Exhaust Shop:

Iggy's Muffler Shop in Norridge, IL

They had no problems installing my 42DD downpipe and welding 3 inch pipe back to my magnaflow muffler.
