Mechanic recs?

PuppiesAndRainbows

I need a good reputable mechanic to do a very simple repair for me. I already have the part, BF tried to fix it but he doesn't have the necessary tool. I went to my usual Firestone today to see if they would install it for me, and not only would they not install it, they charged $218 for a part that I paid $60 for. Their excuses for charging that much were pathetic.

I'll PM you my guy, but we feel like he's gotten more expensive over the years since he offers such good service. Damn Catch-22.

I have no idea how much he costs lately  - MIL & SFIL have been using him and complaining his prices have gone up, so take that for what its worth. Can't hurt to call and ask.

ETA: nm. Check your gmail.

Yeah, I just called him, and he wants $90, which I feel is not too bad, but I also wanted him to replace my drive belts, which I already have, and he wants another $90 for that. That seems pretty steep to me, considering how quick that is to do. I'll think about it.

ha, see? The ILs ain't crazy! He does excellent work, but they know they could take their cars elsewhere for less.
