Each year, Consumer Reports has an issue on cars, including
information on the repair record by make, model, and year.
Most public libraries have this magazine.

If you have a service station with a really good mechanic,
you can use them. But there is some risk. Last year, the
exhaust system on my 2000 S40 got noisy, so I took it to the
dealer for repair. They found a leak in the catalytic
converter, a $1000 replacement. But they knew the part is
still under warranty, and the job cost me nothing.
