in need of repair shop

I have been searching for a repair shop that is reliable, and does not charge me a small fortune every time I take my Jeep Liberty in. Anyone out there with suggestions they would be much appreciated.

May want to post this in the colorado forums, but there are a few members up the highway from me in Denver. What kind of work do you need done, and define small fortune? A good shop won't be the cheapest in town, and may let you know of everything that needs attention to your Jeep, but the difference is, they wont try to cram it down your throat in one swallow.

Try to do as much yourself as possible. Pay a good shop to do the complicated stuff hat is over your head. It all averages out better that way.

Just remember, It's a Jeep thing

Yeah, not to sound bad, or harsh, though we'll get held against the whipping post, but I get at least one job a week that's to correct a DIY, or BYB(back yard butcher) job. If you are in the least bit intimidated, get either a qualified friend(friends can be the worst sometimes), or save yourself money and grief in the long run and take it to a shop. Some stuff is easy, like replacing spark plugs, but pulling heads, or doing gears, or diagnosing a problem can be over some people's heads. So the big thing is, what is you are seeking from a shop? There's cheap shops, good shops, and fast shops. Good shops aren't always the fasted, or cheapest, but are the most serious about their work.

TJK, and Street...

I just wanted to point out that I said to pay a good shop to do the complicated stuff

You are right about being careful about what you want to take on, from a difficulty standpoint, but at the same time, a DIY like me can save hundreds doing my own oil changes, brakes, general maintenance... and even finding and fixing an O2 sensor that 2 local shops could not diagnose properly... BTW, did I ever thank you guys properly for helping me solve that problem? THANK YOU!

Hehe.
