Does anyone know any honest, reliable, inexpensive auto repair shops in the North Dallas area?

I have a Honda Accord and it just reached the 60,000 mile mark. I want to do a tune up that includes the works (i.e. changing plugs, rotor %26amp; cap, oil, fuel and air filter, also wheel alignment and inspection, etc..) does anyone know a good auto mechanic that can do this in the North Dallas area? Also, how much you think it would cost? Thanks.Does anyone know any honest, reliable, inexpensive auto repair shops in the North Dallas area?
I lived in the Dallas area for many years. For the most part the only mechanics were $78.00 per hour up. The best alignment shop was in Duncanville. I think it was Precision Alignment or Superior Alignment something like that. It was off Camp Wisdom and Main. The best general mechanics shop was a place recommended to me by American Armature. It may have been McGuire. It's near Haskell and I-30. They aren't cheap but as honest as the day is long and they know what they are doing. I ALMOST FORGOT CHRISTIAN BROTHERS only used them a few times but when they give you an estimate you can count on it coming in at or under the estimate. They were to put in a wheel bearing and because of rust an stuff wound up doing a whole lot more and it didn't cost me a dime over the initial estimate. It is the one on Eldorado in Mckinney that I went to but I was referred by a friend who used a different member of the company I would take my daughters car there if it needed work. Your Honda dealer SHOULD be a reliable source but you never know at least if they find anything wrong a warranted item they should fix it. Hope this helps.Does anyone know any honest, reliable, inexpensive auto repair shops in the North Dallas area?
do it yourself. its easy.

prop up car

unplug oil plug

let drain

unscrew oil filter, either buy a tool, or jab a screwdriver through it

dab oil on filter ring with finger

screw in filter somewat tightly.

put in oil pan plug

put a gallon of Valvoline oil. 10 40 oil. thinkcer oil is better. lubricates better. the hundreds of degries of engine heat will liquify it. use nothing but Valvoline nothing.



unplug one, only one plug and wire.

match up the length, screw in the plug by hand, be carfull dont tighten with wrench till its all the way in.

air filter is easy.
