He who drives a Buick
Yeah, I have one hell of a mechanic. He's ASE certified, does top notch work, and most importantly he's honest. He doesn't come out and say "Well you need this this this and this and it will cost you $3,200".
He says "Well this will need to be replaced but not for another 20,000 miles, this shows some wear but it's still good, this might look like it's bad but it's in fine shape, and this does need to be replaced but it's still working for now so just leave it alone".
A few months ago I went to him to have an air filter installed, for the AC in the cabin not the engine, and it took over 2 hours. It took that long because they had to remove half the dash to get to the damn thing, he only charged me for half an hour of work.
A few weeks ago I had a near miss in the rain and my traction controll and ABS lights turned on and I couldn't get them to shut off for anything. I took it to him and he said it could be that the ABS sensor went tits up or I could have simply blown a fuse. He checked the fuses first and found the one that blew when I slammed on the brakes. Few minutes later he found a replacement fuse and said "Why don't we just call it $10 even?" I only had a $5 on me at the time and he said "Don't worry about it then, I'll spot you $10 and we can settle up next time you stop by". I stopped by his shop about an hour later with $10 in my hand and just said "As promised".
I can't say enough good things about him and his shop.
