Just took my 99 9-3 auto to SPG in Gresham. I live in close-in Portland so he was WAY out there...took the car in because I thought it was shifting a little rough but he assessed and found no issues. So good marks on the honesty factor, I guess. He charged for a 1/2 about labor which I thought was fair enough.
I asked him about the mods guys do to their cars (e.g. Intake mod; sports exhaust; MBC+A, etc.) and he said "They're not race cars. If you try to turn theminto one you mess with the reliability." But I didn't really expect a mechanic to endourse mods...and he's probably right.
