Where is there a good shop in FFX to get my car worked on?

I've had my G6 since 2006, no major problems just brakes and oil changes, tune-ups every 2-3 years or so. My car is having problems starting sometimes, carb has been cleaned, no issues that I've seen. I recently tried one of those special gas treatments that you put in your gas tank and that seems to have helped. I'm looking for a place I can get my car worked on, fixed, and not cost alot of money. My car is paid off, so I don't want to take it to the dealership if I can avoid it.

I doubt your G6 has a carb. The next time a mechanic mentions it needs to be cleaned, go somewhere else. I also can't imagine it needing a tune up every couple years. I'd have the fuel filter replaced and an engine diagnostic with printout done. Not all malfunctions generate a check engine light. Good luck with finding a decent shop, I wish I had a reference for your G6.
Bring it on down, please. We are domestic car specialists but please be warned. I am a fucking asshole who does great automotive service at competitive prices.

If you find a place that can work on carbs please let everyone else know. Dealerships can only work on newer models. Carb tuning has become somewhat of a lost art, and dealerships and shops don't even have the equipment anymore.
