Car mechanic recommendation

[gingicat]

So I really should recommend my awesome mechanic:
ABJ Auto Repair
91 Marshall St, Somerville, MA
(617) 625-6632

The first owner was Al, who died of cancer not long ago. It's now owned by Wendell, who is terrific, and at least partially managed by Michael, who is also terrific. I think every guy there has worked on at least one of our cars.

Yesterday I retrieved my 2004 Ford Focus from them after her120,000 mile timing belt replacement. At my request, the mechanic who worked on her took the time to show me all the replaced parts and tell me what they all do and why they were replaced, without ever condescending to me. He also started to show me how to replace my headlight bulb, but unfortunately the wiring harness (probably aftermarket -- need to review the repair record to see who replaced the bulb last) was so short that he could barely fit it himself, let alone show me how it was supposed to attach.

The timing belt etc plus an oil change and solenoid for the blower motor (stupid thing was only running on high) came in at exactly where expected. They did not charge me for labor on the bulb despite the problems.

Free things!

Hi Everyone,
We just cleaned out our basement and have now curbed two painted wooden chairs, one perfectly serviceable rolling desk chair, a small working fan, and a large fake christmas tree (actually quite handsome) with all its parts.  Some of the lights built into the fake tree are burned out, but it's otherwise great.
100 Belmont St, Somerville, first come first serve.
Cheers!

Hey all. It's been so long since I've posted on LJ that I don't remember if selling stuff is kosher. But if it's not, I'm moving to Davis Square in a week so we can meet up in Diesel or Mr. Crepe and you can punch me in the face. :)

Anywho, I'm trying to sell some snazzy electronics on Craigslist right now. I took extremely good care of everything, they're in GREAT condition, and I have the original boxes for each.

Cash only, and pick-up only, please. I'm in Porter Square. Message me or reply to haggle, or if you just want to say "OMG, you used to post on b0st0n all the time like a snarky jerk. Glad you're still alive. Jerk."
