TAIT ROCKS!!
He was recommended to me by a friend of a friend and I am FOREVER grateful to them!! I've been taking my 99 Honda Civic to him for YEARS!! He does fantastic work - gives you the option of using Honda Certified parts where available, always explains everything in a language a non-mechanic can understand and always gives me a "priority rating" on my repairs (meaning: such & such should be repaired right away vs. such & such could wait but here are the pros and cons of repairing now vs waiting until later.) I've never had a mechanic do that for me - but when money for repairs is tight - it's certainly greatly appreciated!
I recently moved to Chicago and was very sad to lose Tait. After taking my car to a new mechanic, I called Tait and gave him the "low-down" on my latest problem then asked him if the repairs the new mechanic were recommending seemed correct and if the price was reasonable. He walked me through everything and ended by giving me recommendations. That was certainly ABOVE and BEYOND the call of duty considering he new he wasn't going to be getting my business.
If/When I move back to Phoenix - I will be taking my cars back to Tait. In the meantime - you should do the same! You won't be disappointed!

Ps. His prices are very reasonable and MUCH better than anything you'll see at the Dealer.
