In or out of warranty, you'll likely want to base your selection on
quality of service and price of the local mechanic shops, both dealer
and non-dealer (although any failure that needs to be repaired under
warranty has to go to a dealer) (of course, other factors like being
nearby and open hours can also be factors). You'll want to ask people
who have the same kind of car as you have, and/or check local customer
surveys if they are available (in local libraries). For pricing, just
call the various shops and ask.
