I have used Roadhaus.

Lots of strange "mechanics" around.  I took my Honda Accord to a shop because the "check engine" light was on.  The guy plugged a meter in, and told me that the engine was missing on the number two cylinder, and that one of the "wheel speed sensors" was bad.  I asked him if he knew which wheel speed sensor.  "No, but if one is bad, they probably all are, and need to be replaced."  Me:  What are they for?  Him:  "They let your ABS know when a wheel is out of sink with the others, and so how much brake to apply to each wheel."  Me  "Interesting.  There is no ABS on this car."  Him:  "Really?  Well, we need to replace the sensor, anyway, and tune it up."  I took it to another shop, which found a vacuum line slipped off its connector.  Everything seems cool.
