Vartan is a great mechanic and has reasonable rates. Highly recommended.
I took the car to several shops. One wanted $500, others wanted to replace this and that.
Vartan fixed the problem for $40 and said no parts needed to be replaced after careful diagnosis. Great honest person. He was recommended to me by a trusted person.
I think some of the mechanics here are independent so you have to ask for them by name. I will take my business to Vartan from now on.
