I found Dean Automotive from a coupon they mailed me in one of those "welcome to the neighborhood" packages that you get when you buy a house. At first I was skeptical, because in spite of having a Y chromosome, I nevertheless know very little about cars and auto repair. Thus, at most other mechanics, I have often felt like I've been taken for a ride when I have brought my car in for anything more complicated than an oil change. When the time eventually came that I needed a mechanic, I remembered that coupon and called Dean Automotive. I was very pleasantly surprised.
This is an honest mechanic (yes, believe it or not, they do exist!). Prices are better than the big-name repair shop chains. The owner, Ron, is very professional and polite. He won't try to push you into any expensive services or repairs that you don't need. I've been impressed with this shop's work so far. read more
