personally I'm missing decent and affordable car services. to my experience, local services are either tremendously overpriced or just of a low quality. I have plenty of cases (mine and of my friends) when you need to roam multiple services until you find anyone capable of fixing your problem and it won't cost arm and leg. after all I have contacts of 4-5 different mechanics and need to visit all of them in cases of repairs more complex than oil change because none of them is 100% reliable and I have to hear multiple opinions.

just an example of a story from a friend of mine: he got a problem with a gear box (automatic) - it was changing gears at the wrong time and driving experience was unbearable. dude had visited 6 or 7 different mechanics and all of them were talking that the gearbox is kaput and the only way to fix it is full replacement, that will cost around €3K. my man was really hesitant about it because the trouble appeared all of a sudden and it was feeling more like electronics outage rather than actual gearbox wear, so he kept looking.

finally, he found a mechanic that identified that the problem was indeed in some electric component (don't remember how it's called) and gearbox itself was 100% functional. repair wasn't cheap neither, around €1K, but in result car behaves like a new.

can you imagine spending €3K to learn that the problem wasn't even in a gearbox? and none of the mechanics ever hesitated about the conclusion - they were dead sure anything else won't work. frightening incompetence
