Default Fuel injector cleaning Service

Anyone know any shop in OC that service your fuel injectors? My car has "low idle", which mean the car shake like crazy during stop at red light or in DRIVE. I tried many fuel injector fluids but the car still shake. The dealer recommmend a fuel injector service and charge me an arm and leg for it. Any help?

Just an FYI, Arco gas is the same as every other gas out there. BP actually owns the Arco name. There has not been a new refinery made since 1972 because the oil companies refuse to comply with stricter environmental laws that has made it more expensive to create a new refinery. That is why most gasoline comes from the same place.

Excess gas from refineries is actually stored in huge collective containers that all of the companies use. When each company has excess they store it in the large tanks and receive a credit. If they are running low each company will use their credits and take out that "brand" of gas.

Tier 1 or what ever genius marketing plan does not affect gas. Each company may put different additives in, but the gas is essentially all the same.
