I'm interested in buying a used car (private sale), but want to get it inspected for any mechanical problems or maintenance issues. Can anyone recommend a good mechanic or auto repair shop (preferrably in North Central or NW Calgary) that can do this? About how much is this going to cost?
Alternatively, would you recommend taking it into a Ford dealership (it's a newer Ford vehicle

) to get it inspected? Any positives or negatives in doing this instead?
