If possible you could try to find one with a website that has customer ratings. Other than that just ask around for recomendations. I would go to several auto part stores and get their recomendations on local shops.

go to somewhere like a oil change shop or like walmart automotive and ask where they take their cars. since they only do oil changes and tires they will know where to go since they know something about cars, they know who is a ripoff by now and who is honest

Dealerships generally cost a little more. But might be the best approach to take. The best way is through recommendations of others, but you say you have no car friends. Warranty is important and ability to have recourse with management if a dispute arises. So for you I would recommend the dealer, they will have a warranty and there is recourse through the corporate structure. You will pay a little more, but I think that you will more than get you money’s worth by being able to have peace of mind in this process. Peace.

If you dont know any car-people to ask, then you can go to a few just for diagnosis and compare the results. If you know enough your best bet would be to take it in when you already know what the problem (Ive caused problems with mine just to test a repair shop before). Just dont have it fixed until you know theyre being honest.

Ask the people you trust at work. More than likely there is someone who has lived in the area for awhile and knows who to trust.

It will cost a little more to take it into the Nissan shop but it is worth it. They will also warranty their work. Chances are if its just a rattle it wouldnt be anything impotant. Atleast they can give you an estimate becasue thats what you really want. They might even fix it at no cost.
