So, my question is, who could look at my car and tell me what I need to do but not expect to do it himself?
Some example: the tires have lots of tread but are almost 10 years old. Should they be changed? The windshield washer bottle is broken, but changing it is a major hassle requiring hours of work. Should I get it fixed, or not? The list goes on------->

I have a 2017 Audi Q5 and I take It to Expert Auto on 441. They do all my service and they are honest. They recently changed hands and the new owner is great. Check em out!
