| - Finding a quality, honest mechanic, especially in Las Vegas, can be very tricky if you aren't careful. I once made the mistake of taking my car to a Purfect Auto. Whatever you do- Do not ever- every- every make that mistake.
Despite that, I think I've finally found an honest, dependable mechanic in Las Vegas and their name is Hondoctors!
I took my CRV in a couple weeks ago for two reasons.
1. I had a messed up exhaust pipe that was making noise from being rear ended a couple of months back.
2. I was smelling a fuel leak from somewhere.
They were honest about the fuel leak (as all mechanics should be, but far too many in Las Vegas aren't) and they informed me it was a super simple fix. When I had Terribles (who seem pretty honest- but apparently made a mistake) put a new fuel filter on a few weeks back and they apparently didn't tighten it up enough, so all that was required from Hondoctors was a quick turn of a screw/bolt.
Hondoctors didn't charge me for that, and if they were like a lot of Vegas mechanics, they could have claimed I needed a whole new fuel line or something and charged me a bundle.
Next, the exhaust system. It wasn't cheap, but it was fair, and to my pleasant surprise, they were able to order the part from California and have it installed before lunch the following day that I brought it in.
And finally, another thing I respected about Hondoctors is that I overheard them referring someone over the phone to another mechanic because they felt they would be better off with someone that worked with that particular clients car. They obviously specialize in Japanese cars, and instead of just taking someones money for their German car (I think it was German at least), they did what they felt was best for the client and referred them to another mechanic.
I know finding a dependable and honest mechanic can be a real headache, so I'm hope this review helps you make a smart decision.
