No alternator/starter shops in southern oregon, and even worse in bigger cities. Muffler shops are dropping like flys because the cars newer then 30 years old are all bolted together, and any mechanic can do the work. The muffler shops ive been to ask crazy prices because they only get a few jobs a month and need to pay the rent on only a few jobs. add to that, no one bends pipes by hand any longer. I did exhaust work for over 20 years and ive been tempted to prebend pipes to original specs to sell, but im too old to start a dying trade.lol
