Finding a decent mechanic is difficult, compounded by the werid phenomenon I see around here where people will both trash talk someone who does good work for them at a good price, and worship the ground of someone who charges 2.5 times LIST price for parts and $100 and hour for labor, while never getting the stinking car fixed right.

Go figure, beats me!
