Oh yeah, I am sure there are dishonest dealer shops, no question. I do think there is something to the argument that they have a little more to lose if they get a bad reputation -- they still want to sell new cars on the other side of the lot. All boils down to doing research before you get the work started. Get references. Get second opionions if you have any doubt about the diagnosis. Especially don't assume that the local transmission chain franchise is familiar with MB transmissions.
