auto repair help

[tsuki-no-bara.livejournal.com]

my car is making weird noises that sound like bad brake noises and thus make me nervous, and the place i used to take it for repairs was ok but not fantastic. (they installed the wrong windshield once.) i'm pretty sure there was a fairly recent (ie, 2006) post about good garages but i've looked in the archive back thru january and can't find it. >.< so my question is thus: can y'all recommend a reliable local place to take my car so someone can look at and ideally fix it without taking advantage of me? or even if anyone knows where the garage post is and can point me to it, that would be fine.

(i have a honda civic if that makes any difference. i don't care if the garage is import-only or takes all kinds of cars as long as it comes recommended and the mechanics there can tell me what the problem is, how they can fix it, how long it will take, and how much it will cost.)
