I used Midas for a catalytic converter on an '86 GL. In and out in < 2 hr. Cost: $220.00 vs. Dealer $900.00. Catalytic is still working 3yr later ;) Just took my EV there to have some stuff checked. They tack welded the heat shield, to stop rattle, FREE. I know that's not extraordinary, but the dealer wants $27 just to look at the vehicle, not find out what's wrong, and certainly not fix it for free.
