Southside honda quoted me $308 for the service of my 07 FD civic. I then asked for new wiper blades ($50 including installations) and a wheel alignment ($66). In total its gonna cost me $424. is it really worth goin to the dealer or should i go to my local mechanic. The only reason why im having trouble choosing is because I also asked them to check out my gearbox because of the occasional sticky gears and they said they'll inspect it and if theyre in fault, it would be replaced or repaired under warranty.

Wat do you guys think i should do? Dealer or local trusted mechanic?
