honest mechanic?

[bratling.livejournal.com]

can anyone recommend an honest mechanic near davis or porter square? it's time to make my car start again. i know it needs the bad fuel drained out, a gasket replaced on the valve covers, probably spark plugs checked, and a general checkup. it also needs new brake rotors & pads all around. i need someone who will do the needed work only at reasonable cost -- honesty is the most important thing here.

thanks!


(for the record, i cannot recommend you ever take a car to Fresh Pond Mobil for repairs. i did years ago, because it was closest to where my previous car broke down. they seemed to be one of the shops who did work quickly, and the car developed new problems within a week. once was coincidence, but when it developed a third problem in a row after being there twice, i got suspicious. a car shouldn't need to have a waterpump replaced, when my dad had replaced it the month before...)
