Car mechanic recommendations?

[rozasharn.livejournal.com]

Can anyone recommend a good place to fix the transmission on a 1995 Honda Accord? How about a good mechanic for the steering on a Nissan Altima? I just moved to Somerville recently so I'm hoping someone can share the benefit of your experiences.

Back when I had a Honda, I was very VERY pleased with the guys at Hondar House right over in Cambridge -- several times they came up simple and low-cost solutions to problems that less-scrupulous and/or -honest mechanics could have charged me big bucks to replace framistats and thingamajigs.

Also, when they're done with your car, they'll park it front-out in their tiny parking lot, so that it's much easier to drive out onto the busy road they're on. A small, thoughtful detail that shows that they really think things through.

do they do Nissans as well? I have an Altima too, and I need to get a tuneup, alignment and inspection. I've been looking for a place nearby that will actually pass my car (there's nothing wrong with it, but for whatever reason, when I go to a place in Camberville, they tell me I need to fix 43 things before I can get it inspected).

It seems that they actually handle all (foreign?) makes. They just don't advertise that. I mentioned that I was thinking about only getting hondas so I could keep coming htere and they told me I didn't have to worry about it.

Another enthusiastic vote for Hondar!
