We just had Shawn and his crew do some work to a vehicle of ours again after preparing for the worst (2-3 in repair bills) we walked out with only 536.00 being spent.
Dropped our vehicle off the evening before and picked it up the next afternoon, the mechanic fixed a issue we didn't know we had and got us back on the road, our family car runs like it did new and we left without a huge hole in our bank account.
It's hard to find a reliable mechanic that isn't going to gouge you.
