Searching for a mechanic on St. Thomas is not exciting. During my search for a mechanic to fix our car after a shipping accident had occurred, Processional Auto Repairs was mechanic number 4, that we saw. And I used Yelp to find this one, the five star review that I based my decision off of has since fallen off for some reason.
I thought it was super convenient that they were able to come to see the car without taking it into a shop however that's a double edged sword. The extent of repairs that our car needed (new engine mounts and undercarriage damage) required a lift. Because this mechanic is 100% mobile (which is great if you are stuck and can't get towed somewhere) they share a space with another mechanic in Bovoni. The day that we went there to get the car onto the lift, it was already in use, and would not be available soon, which was a waste of my afternoon.
Victor the mechanic, told me that he would call me back for a time and he never did, I in fact never heard a peep from him again. He and his wife (whom is his assistant) are awesome, they were able to see me the next day after my call, and they were so pleasant to work with but I had hoped that there would have been some type of follow up. I get it that he was very busy responding to a lot of jobs, but at least tell me then that you can't help me.
Its ok, I was able to find a rocking awesome mechanic at Lenard's (read that review) that we used for two years while on St. Thomas.
