Who do you use for a mechanic? We need someone who we can trust with both of our cars and we've run into some shady mechanics in the past. Don't want to repeat that...

Being a woman, this is more true than not, I have been taken advantage of.... that is until I got married. My husband and his dad know A LOT about cars and over the years if there were anything they didn't want/have time for/wasn't sure of doing with their cars, they always called the same guy. His name is Tom and he is an at home service. He use to work at a shop and started his own business going to peoples houses, work, wherever and fixes their car right there.

He does fantastic work for cheaaaaaaaaaaaaap, because he isn't overcharging.

When I first got my car, I seem to always be a victim of over-priced repairs, even when I got second and third opinions. When I moved to Florida I was in 7 accidents in two years (3 times sandwiched between cars and 4 times rear ended) each time I dished over a thousand dollars. I shudder to think how much money I made for those shops.

This guy Tom is fantastic in all areas, but my basis for comparisons are the worst LOOOL I do believe it has been around 10 years or so they have been using him. And he has an adorable basset hound he brings with him Smiler

If you find this is up your alley, just let me know and I will PM you his #.
