Where you take your vehicle for service depends on how old your car is (and if it’s still under the factory warranty), and whether it needs repairs or routine maintenance. There’s a difference: routine maintenance items are those listed in your vehicle's owner's manual as part of the model's service schedule. Repairs are performed to fix a problem that may not have been anticipated. Check CR’s Repair Shop Buying Guide to learn which type of shop is best for you.
