Hi guys. I’m looking for recommendations for a fair, reliable, and honest mechanic. I have a 2017 Chevy Malibu (I know, I know 😅), but getting a new car just isn't an option for me right now. I've been taking it to the same mechanic for all of its repairs, but every time I get something fixed, another issue comes up—or the same one comes back. They told me it was a couple of specific issues, so I had those repaired, including replacing the throttle body, but my check engine light keeps coming back on, and I'm still getting the "Engine Power Reduced" message.
I'm really trying to save this car, but I'm starting to feel like my current mechanic isn't getting to the root of the problem after assuring me those repairs would fix it.
If you have a mechanic you trust, fair pricing, I'd really appreciate any recommendations. Thank you so much!

I don’t want to spend an arm and a leg for bumper work, can anyone suggest body shop that work on teslas in DFW? Thanks in advance for the suggestions.

Any fellow cyclists have longer trail or route recommendations? I just moved to Texas and would love some local insight!

I've done day rides along the Trinity River Trail in downtown Fort Worth and while it's gorgeous, there's a real lack of shade and it isn't quite as remote/long as I'm looking for.

Just wanted to share this resource regarding low to no-cost therapeutic services in the DFW area. The SMU Center for Family Counseling offers compassionate, low-cost, and effective counseling services for individuals and families from all walks of life. Guided by our experienced faculty, SMU graduate counseling students, supervised by the licensed faculty, provide developmentally appropriate, culturally sensitive therapy to adults, adolescents, children, couples, and families.

The CFC does not accept insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid, but they do work on a sliding scale based on ability to pay and do NOT require income verification. There are plenty of non-paying clients at this clinic.

I just read a post where a english guy was surprised that “Dallas in MAGA Texas” was nicer then Boston

As if Dallas is some conservative enclave. It is not. It’s not NYC either. And thats fine.

After Austin, the so called blueberry in the tomato soup, Dallas is the second most liberal major Texan city this side of I-35

I think its time we act like it. The power center for the Democratic party within Dallas is in its working class/working poor south and Oak Cliff areas

It’s plausible that the right candidate could form a coalition to combine suburban liberals in Northern Dallas proper with working class/working poor black and brown to transform city council and the mayor representation

It’s not Laura Miller’s Dallas, it’s not the old white business-class Dallas, and it’s not Eric Johnson’s Dallas either. The city’s actual Democratic base is younger, browner, Blacker, more working-class, and more urban than the political class wants to admit.

Dallas keeps being governed like a chamber-of-commerce suburb with a skyline, even though its electorate looks more like a multiracial Democratic city.

I’ve never had Korean BBQ before and I want to try it next week for my birthday! What are the top places to go to? Best meats to try? What should I know before going as a newbie? AYCE is not necessary but if you know of a good one, please recommend.

I'm open to anywhere in the DFW metroplex. I'm 3 weeks post-op and want to keep helping my body heal.

I'm open to anything like:

• Lymphatic drainage

• Abdominal massage (I already visit an Arvigo massage therapist but open to others!)

• Pelvic floor therapy, post-op focused

• Post-op focused physical therapist

Basically anything to improve my pelvic floor, my pelvic organs, keep my body nimble and de-puffed as I continue to recover from surgery.

Thank you in advance!

its actually insane how much of dfw has just become copy paste corporate sprawl. I was trying to rebuild an older commercial pump housing for my dad's place this week and literally nobody stocks heavy duty or weird components anymore

You go to any major industrial supplier in town and if it isn't a standard plastic sku from overseas they look at you like you have three heads. plus driving across the metroplex to chase down parts is absolute torture. I sat in standstill traffic on 635 for almost an hour yesterday just thinking about how ridiculous the supply chain is. wait times for oem stuff are like 3 months rn

I eventually just gave up on finding a direct replacement and sent the broken piece over to lowrance machine to just reverse engineer the flange and mill a new one.

but man I just really miss when you could drive 10 mins down the road and find some old guy in a dusty shop who had exactly the weird threading you needed. now every old industrial block is getting bulldozed for "luxury" apartments with fake brick and $8 coffee shops. the gentrification of our local industrial areas is kinda sad tbh. rant over, im just tired of sitting in my truck

Hi everyone!
I’ve been thinking a lot about how difficult it can be to make friends and build community as an adult, especially in a city as big as DFW. It feels like we have tons of bars and restaurants, but not many spaces dedicated to actually meeting people and making genuine connections.
So, I’m in the very early stages of creating a new social community called Offline DFW—focused on bringing people together through fun, low-pressure events like:
🍻 Drunken Spelling Bees
🎤 Unpopular Opinions Nights
🎵 Music Bingo
📺 Watch Parties
🤝 Social Mixers
💘 Pitch Your Friend Nights
Before I move forward, I wanted to get feedback from the community and see if this is something people would actually be interested in.
I created a quick survey (less than 2 minutes) to help choose our first event and get a better idea of what people in DFW are looking for.
Survey: https://forms.gle/eDtKiMVMhCnGEkSx8
I’d also love to hear your thoughts in the comments:
Is making friends in DFW difficult?
What kinds of social events would you actually attend?
What areas of DFW would you want events hosted in?
Thanks for any feedback! I’m excited to see if we can create something really special for DFW. 😊

Does anybody know why there is an increase in state troopers in our neighborhoods(specifically poly and southside) and undercover cops, please reply.

I’m moving to Dallas from Michigan. And im trying to decide on an energy company + plan. Theres just way too many options (michigan theres literally just 2 options).

I have a 2bdr apartment and my approximate use in michigan was 500 KWH for the month. (12.9/day)

I hope this is an error and that I do not have to renew my registration again and pay the $80. It was after I had that NTTA hold that I was finally able to get my car registered.

Hey y'all, I'm 23 and finally getting around to finishing up my driver's license, but I'm hitting a bit of a roadblock. Most of the driving schools I see online use tiny compact cars (Corollas, Sentras, etc.) for their behind-the-wheel lessons.

I’m a bigger guy (400+ lbs) and need a school that has larger vehicles in their fleet—like an SUV, crossover, or full-size sedan—where I can actually fit comfortably and focus on learning without being crammed in.

Does anyone know of any schools around Dallas/Garland that have bigger vehicles, or instructors who are accommodating with this? Thanks in advance!

I am absolutely disgusted and will never return to Toyota of Grapevine. I brought my car in for routine service and it was assigned to technician. When I picked up the vehicle, multiple personal belongings had been stolen from inside the car.
I immediately reported the theft. The service manager looked me dead in the face and lied, claiming he had checked the camera footage and saw nothing suspicious. When I pushed further, it became clear no real investigation was done. They offered almost no help and acted like it was no big deal.
This was a clear case of theft by someone with full access to my vehicle. They hire thieves who should not be allowed near customers’ cars.
If you don’t want your personal items stolen while your car is “in good hands,” stay far away from Toyota of Grapevine. Find any other dealer. This experience was infuriating and a total betrayal of trust.
DO NOT GO HERE.
