Their reputation is good their space is limited. I was going to have them do
some work but they said they couldn't touch me for two weeks because they
had some engine rebuilds or what not going on, and their garage space is
limited. I called them later and they still couldn't make an appointment.
Moral: have a backup mechanic (have several), and tell me who they are if
they're good.
