Marauder Maintenance - help!

[Hotwheels]

I have a Black 2003 Marauder 300A that I have owned since July 2003. I very much enjoy everything about the car. Acceleration, handling, braking, styling, safety, family friendly......does it all well. I've had 14 cars over the years including a 1973 Mach 1 and a 1998 Mustang GT. I would say that I am a car freak and "fanatical" about the condition of all my cars and especially the Marauder. I always take the car to a local dealer for any kind of work thinking that Ford would know the car best and I can trust them to do a quality job. Doesn't always turn out that way. Even a simple oil change somtimes doesn't turn out right. Therefore, it's time to find another "shop". I need a dealer, shop, mechanic that I can trust to do Quality Maintenance work (oil change, brake job, warrenty work, tranny service,etc) and not hurt the car in the process. I want to get my car back at "least" in the same condition that I bring it in. I live in Kent, Washington. Do any of you who live in the Puget Sound area recommend anyone I can trust with my Marauder?

I have had nothing but good luck with my dealership, Olympia Lincoln Mercury & Mazda.

Also Brute Force has had great service from his dealer.

Let me take a wild gess, you dealer is in Puyallup?

My dealer is in Kent. Sales side has been great. Service hasn't been as good.

About a year ago 1BAD03MM had issues with his dealer's shop. Had the same thing to say about them.

He had a bad cylender head. His shop said they couldn't hear it and refused to fix it. Oly L/M hooked him up with a new head. :)

I usually take my car to Bill Pierre Ford on Lake City Way. I've been pretty happy there. I'm going to take the Crown Vic in next month for a new intake manifold.
