With the local jeep dealer closed (Sunnyvale), I am trying to find a local dealer to do routine maintenance and warranty work. Calling the other local dealers, it has been difficult to get a hold of anyone to talk with. I actually drove down to one of the dealers to talk to someone in person to get 30k maintenance quote. He came back with an estimate of $1k! Going through the list, he started with "change spark plugs". I explained that was not part of the normal service for the SRT8 at 30k...anyway, you get the idea. Does anyone have a good dealer and service adviser in the Bay Area that knows what a jeep SRT8 is and you trust to do the work and charge a fair price? Thanks!

Following up on my own post, local dealer would like
$299 for replacement of front+rear disc+rotors (I supply the parts)
$499 to for fluid replacement of front+rear axle and diff. I asked why so expensive, this should be like an oil change. He explained that they need to pull them apart to get all the liquid out and inspect. I said what is the price if they use the drain plugs? Answer: Well then how would we drain and fill with the one plug? I explained to use both the drain plug and the fill plug. No discount for this approach, still $499. Unbelievable, looks like I need to go to an independent shop... Seems like an independent shop couldn't do worse...? Thoughts? Any recommendations? Did I miss something?

Christina at Autoworld in Petaluma shes awesome and takes care of my jeep, she knows alot about the srt8!
Or if you want independent the jeep guru whos known to everybody on the west coast is Rick at Ross Valley 4X4 in San Rafael. Ask any jeep mechanic who they trust to rebuild their jeeps and they all say Rick.
