I will confess to having followed the mechanic rather than a shop itself. The guy in this area I trust most with my car changed shops. He went to work for a shop that specializes in race car work, a shop that shuns most street cars. I called the owner of this shop, and literally begged to let my car in, so the mechanic I respect could work on it. The shop owner relented. It made my day when after my first visit to the shop, the owner said: "You know, I need to buy your car"...
