Poll:what dealers will dothe best job repairing the FT86?

What dealer network do you think will do the best job repairing the FT86? I listed the reasons I see someone could choose one or the other, if you have other reasoning please explain.

They're going to be following the same manual to fix it so it really comes down to which tech is going to have better due diligence and experience.

It's all nuts and bolts anyway.

If your car is in need of repair there's a likelyhood that you're talking about a warranty issue and I don't think it's a question of who would do a better job but who would do the job and that's a dealership for the car you drive.

I think it will come down to which manufacturer will remedy problems with more accuracy and timeliness. Dealership technicians work by the book. Just need to find the dealership that has seen more than one fr-s or br-z come through their service department.
