Don't Forget to Thank Your Auto Mechanic

My mechanic is awesome. I’ve never said that about a mechanic before. Its hard to tell before you start writing checks how well the repairs are done. But he really helped me out when my engine blew up a couple of months ago. I got a great price for getting a new engine installed, and my truck is running like new. Add to that, he got my air conditioning going again, and some new tires, all at the best price I could have asked for.
Now my brother is looking at replacing his catalytic converter. I told him about my mechanic, who gave him a price WAY below that from the dealer. But just giving a price isn’t everything. He filled my head with all kinds of factoids and horror stories about shops that put in the wrong equipment, charge dearly for it, and leave the owner swinging in the wind when they go for a smog check and get rejected! I’m pretty sure my brother is going to like paying less, and getting better service.
Thanks Garnet! Have a beer on me.
