Best place to take Vibe for service/maintenance?

Hey all-

As the username implies, I'm in Southwest Florida. Have a 2003 Vibe that I went to get fixed/serviced (driver side window, one of the door handles came off, tune up, oil change, etc.). I don't have a regular mechanic I go to and have been wondering both about GM dealerships and some of those national chains that do repair/service.

Do the Gm dealerships still service Pontiacs? Any suggestions in general as to where to take it?

Thanks

GM dealers most definitely service Vibes - my former Pontiac dealer, now a Chevy dealer, takes are of my 2009. The Buick dealer who took over the Pontiac/GMC franchise from my selling dealer shortly before Pontiac was discontinued also wants my business. But it might make sense to take a 2003 to a Toyota dealer - or an independent. Sometimes I think I ought to sell my 2009 while the getting out is good.

Any "non-warranty" issues on my 2009 Vibe that I can't handle, will be handled by my good friend Mr.Dave. He owns Ottawa Park automotive here in Toledo and went to high school with me in the mid 70's. We take care of each other where possible. So basically, if you have a local independent garage whom you know & trust, then allow them to be your repair garage when the need arises :)

Thanks y'all. Oh, and any idea if that whole driver window recall thing is still valid? Just a couple weeks ago my window came out of the track and almost dropped into the door...
