Auto Mechanic! I'm on highland ave, near the hospital, and since I'll be walking home, places close to davis square would be great.

Any suggestions?

Close to that area? ABJ Foreign Auto, just off Medford St. near School St. (Can't recall the exact address.) Not dirt-cheap, but definitely fair pricing.

While officially they handle foreign cars (I think Saabs are sorta the specialty) they're willing to work on other cars; they handle my Ford happily. The only downside to bringing a domestic car there is that they're not as likely to have the part in stock at their parts store, so it may take a *touch* longer to get it in and done.

I've used Fred Hubble Gulf a number of times--they're up Highland next to the antique/consignment store, close to Willow. They've done good work, though they did want to keep the dying car running forever (okay, it was a cool car and the engine was in great shape, but the body was badly rusted.) Cheap? I dunno, I have little comparison. IMO, car repairs are NEVER cheap.

Still, I would recommend Fred Hubble Gulf for doing good work in a timely fashion, and being a very easy walk from the hospital area.

my family and i have had good experiences at Ideal Engine on Day St.

i have a friend who had a very bad experience at Jack's Gas on Mass Ave., but I have another friend who swears by that place.

when I drove a honda, i had some work done at hondar house on prospect near inman (lived closer to them at the time than Ideal), those guys seemed solid.

good luck, auto repairs are a bitch.

Aris Auto on the corner of Somerville Ave and Craigie, just a couple of blocks from Porter Square. I have been going to them for 14 years and they have always done right by me. They never overcharge or do unecessary work. I highly recommend them for any type of car.
