I live on the southside of Atlanta. Anyone in the area know of a good mechanic. Trustworthy, honest , reasonable and knowlegeable are attributes I am looking for.

Hi,

Go back to the forum page, look at the bottom right hand and find the search box. Search on Atlanta PPI, you'll get a list of threads related to finding shops in the Atlanta area.

Good luck.

So far I havent had any issues with my car that I needed a Mech for. Just small stuff, wheel bearings brake lights stuff like that. But with 163K im sure ill need some help eventualy. Im kind of new to P-cars but I have restored 2 old Mustangs, and have been turning wrenches in the driveway for most of my life. So short of machine shop work I do all my own repairs.

I thought I'd sent an answer, sorry.

Rear brakes ( or maybe all ). I'm thinking just pads.

Oil leak. It drips occassionally. I'm getting under the car this week for a closer look

Headliners a little loose fitting

I bought this car in March with little doc. I'd like to find out what it has. Engine, tranny, clutch, etc.. The more I can document the better.

What do you charge? And references?

Sounds like some simple stuff. And you want to see just where the car stands.

I can charge by the hour ($20) or by the job. You can supply the parts (from our forum host) or I can. Cost more if I do. Advice is always free.

I can give you some references.
Some are for cars and some are red, white and blue commercial airliners.

Do a search of my screen name and see some of the issues I've addressed.

Cya,
