Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Service at dealership or independent shops?

EWarren · 07-31-2011, 03:05 PM

I recently found a highly recommended local repair shop. My 2009 Z is still under warranty - should I stick with the dealership for big repairs / parts changes or go to the local shop for small services?

Are dealership mechanics more experienced than the local mechanics? Do local mechanics use genuine parts (or does that even matter)?

Thanks!
