I have had several bad experiences at Jim Bishop's repair. Both on the GM side and the Toyota side. On 3 occasions,( Son, Daughter, and mother'car) they recommended very expensive repairs when in fact very minor things were really wrong. I do not recommend Jim Bishop and will never go there again.
Have had some dealings with the above mentioned Smiths in Sheffield , and have been very pleased with his work.
I have my oil changed at Wal-Mart and have always been happy with them, but I always check the level and eyeball the filter afterward.
I change my own oil,but there is one time I was in going to be out of town for a while and I was ready to go and did not want to get dirty.I took my truck to Wal-Mart to get it done because they use the same brand as I do.When I got in my truck to leave I had grease on my steering wheel,so I cleaned it off not thinking much of it.Later that same day I noticed there was a good size oil spot under my truck.I lifted the hood and looked around to find the source and I finally grabbed the filter and it almost fell off in my hand.For people who do not know but Wal-Mart will hire anyone off the street to work in automotive and you do not have to have any experience.I know several people who work there and would not trust them with my kids bicycle. Do you want someone like that working on your vehicle?
