I have a 1996 Honda Civic with 140K miles. All regular maintenance has
been performed at the dealer shop, every 7500 miles (and oil change every
3700 miles). Now, the ride is not smooth.

Dealer's mechanic said that shocks/struts need to be replaced. Dealer's
parts/service department estimated total cost of $1000, and they
themselves said that I should get it done somewhere else. I called two
MIDAS locations and they quoted $550 and $800 respectively.

I know next to nothing about cars, so I want a recommendation to some
trustworthy and reputable autoshop in the Bay Area. Any place between
Redwood City and Sunnyvale on the west side, or between Hayward and
Milpitas on the east side is fine.

Thanks.
