    Consumer Reports News: May 17, 2011 09:38 AM

    Those getting repairs at Mini and Hyundai dealerships were most satisfied with the prices for car repairs, according to results from our last Annual Survey. Car owners were asked about their car repair experiences in the past 12 months, and while Acura and Porsche were rated among the most satisfying overall, Mini and Hyundai offered the best prices.
