Might help to say what kind of vehicle it is.
If its a VW go to Tunedub, George is awesome!
If its a Volvo, go to Mr. Volvo.
Those are the other two brands I can help you with.

How do you know that? Dealers are always more expensive and unlike a private shop, they don't an invested interest in providing you great service because they know they will always get continuous business. A private shop owner, on the other hand, knows they need to provide exceptional service or else they are out of business.
So not only is the price better, but you will almost always get better service from a small private mechanic.
Also, most private mechanic's, like George at Tunedub, have >15 years previous experience working at a dealer. So, not only will you get better prices, but you will get the same level of experience and quality as you would get from the dealer.
Sorry, I'm not trying to just plug Tunedub, just using them as an example to say that in my experience private shops are always the way to go.
