    Looking for an independent shop in/near Baltimore to service my daily driver Abarth now that it's well out of warranty. The dealer service department is pretty incompetent, so suggestions welcome.
    Despite the fact that it's a daily driver I'm very particular about the car (garaged day/night, hand-washed, etc.), so a high-quality shop accustomed to servicing decent cars is what I'm after. THANKS in advance for any leads.

    I did everything myself when I had mine, actually a very easy car to work on. If you have not done it yet, I'd suggest replacing all hoses and clamps (stock is garbage) as well as the diverter valve (I think the Company is called go fast bits that makes a good replacement), you will notice a difference. I did a lot more but this will be you a better running machine.

    The car has been pretty bullet-proof until just recently. At 75,300 miles all I've replaced so far (except for consumables) is the rear wheel bearings, which was the malady that caused me to take it to Richard.
    Frankly, I have no time- and even less inclination- to wrench on cars at this point in my life. Too much competing for my attention lately.
    Have only had one clamp fail, but have replaced almost every light bulb in the car- one headlight bulb twice! Otherwise it has just been oil/filters, one set of plugs, a battery, and I'm on my 4th set of tires.
