Finding a good mechanic
Unless you are desperate, avoid dealerships like the plague.
Rule #2
Dont waste you time talking to a service manager or with any place that has a service manager. They dont have a clue as to how things work.
Rule #3
The best garages are always found in the working class parts of town.
Rule #4
Do your homework. If your car doesnt stop when you push the brake pedal; learn a little about brakes.
Rule #5
Talk to the mechanic. Respectfully wait a while till he finishes what he is doing if neccessary. Size up his competence and integrety. He will be sizeing you up at the same time.
Rule #6
Go with your gut feeling
Hope this helps
