wanna know a great way to find a good mechanic? The same way with a tattoo artist. Word of mouth, ask around, and then go to the places that people say, you'd be surprised just how good that can work out.
this thread is kinda dead but heres some advice... ever thought of fixing your by yourself? you can get a haynes manual from any auto parts store and it explains how to fix some things. if you can get a FSM(Factory Service Manual) it tells you how to do everything in your car. fixing your own car saves you alot of money and maybe you can save some money to mod your car.
