We've been taking our cars to a little shop not too far from here for several years now. We've had brakes and water pumps fixed, and a new catalytic converter put on the Buick. I can't even remember how we found this place, but I'm really glad we did. He does good work, and his prices are really reasonable - and it doesn't hurt that the shop is close so it's easy to drop off and pick up the cars when we need to. I just found out that the guy who runs the shop lives right here in town, too.
