I'm delighted to see a halloween costume shop open in the former Buck-a-Book site. An employee at the bookstore as it was closing told me a mini-mart was moving into the space. I hope this isn't the case after halloween.

Suggestions for places to go for auto repair?

Historically, i.e. before moving to this area, I'd brought my car for needed service (oil changes, tire rotations, etc) to Hogan Tire. I've heard good things about Hillside Auto and am wondering about other suggested places, ideally places that open early and/or close late or open Saturdays. I'll probably need a lot of stuff flushed other than oil and would like to keep the overall price down but service reliable. I drive a Subaru, so would need a place that can handle foreign cars.

Thanks.
