Mechanic Recs?

Anyone care to recommend your mechanic?  We tried one place out, took our NEW car in for routine maintenance, and had them tell us it needed $1300 worth of work.  Then when I told them to forget it, they tried to sell me on all sorts of financing options!  Angry

We're on the city's NW side, but I'd be willing to drive a little ways to a really good, honest mechanic who has reasonable rates.

Oh, and our car is a Honda.  Does anyone use one of the local Honda dealers for car repairs and maintenance?  If so, what do you think of them?

TIA!!

  • I've been taking my 1997 Honda to Blackmon's Garage on West Ave in between Lockill Selma & Blanco for YEARS. The owner is an old family friend. Really great guy. The shop looks like a total dump of a garage...its really old and small, but they do great work. I won't take my care anywhere else. They're done work for my husband's family too, as well as family friends and no one has ever had a bad word to say about them. They've even done stuff on my brother-in-law's 1968 Camaro.

    ?The owner, Paul Blackmon, is on-site pretty much every day, and a lot of the guys have been working there for a really long time.?

    They stay really busy too - definitely call to schedule your car to come in.?

  • I took my old car to Car Pro on 281 near Bitters.  It's not fancy, but reasonably priced and I think, pretty trustworthy.

  • If you are up for a drive I take my car to Michael G's in Cibolo.  He just swapped out the the engine in my expedition.  I have been going to him since I was 16.
  • Awesome.  I'll check into those.  Thanks, ladies!!  Smile
