Advice to choose a shop

I copied this post from another thread and I'm going to ask for specific advice in the Tennessee Chapter forum but, my 6.0 is going through coolant. Of course there are any number of common problems that could be the cause of this. Assuming it was the EGR cooler I found two shops near me listed on Bullet Proof Diesel's website. I need to take my truck in to one (or both) of them to get diagnosed.

Tracy Langston Ford - Nice to see a dealership listed as an installer. Might cost a bit more but, theoretically, they should be experts working on their own stuff.

3:16 Diesel - Independent shop in town. Much closer, might be cheaper, the few reviews on the website seem positive.

I'm inclined to go with the dealer because taking everything at face value it would be the safest pick. Any advice for deciding which one to go to?

Full Force Diesel, Murfreesboro, Tn. is a bit of a drive, but Ryan Casserly has great customer service and I recommend him highly.

The dealer is only going to put back what caused the problem to begin with. I.e. stock EGR cooler and TTY headbolts if it comes down to that.

Per npccpartsman, I'd get with Ryan of Full Force. When two of my injectors developed a fault, he without question shipped them overnight on his dime to me.

He'll definately do right by you...
