"1"^^ . "Good, reliable, trustworthy, and cheap mechanics are hard to find. Heck, finding a mechanic that just fits one of the aforementioned categories is hard to find! \n\nWell, hidden away on Scranton Road on the western edge of Tremont, there's a little shop that fits within all of the categories in spades.\n\nMy wife has a 2003 Acura. Our check engine light went on, so we headed off to AutoZone to have them scan the codes and see what was up. Based on what was written in the owner's manual, we thought it may have been the transmission. I was afraid that the transmission needed to be replaced (ouch!) but since it had just been replaced in 2009, there was no way that was what was wrong. AutoZone said the spark plugs just needed to be replaced (whew!), and when we asked for a good local mechanic, they recommended Tu Casa. \n\nI didn't know what to expect, but when they checked out our car and told us that we could save money if we went and picked up the parts ourselves, I was sold. Many places will jack up the prices on parts to make a profit, and for them to suggest that we could save money by buying our own parts was a great sign of honesty in my opinion. A return trip to AutoZone saved us some cash, and an hour or so later, we had new plugs. They discovered that an ignition coil needed to be replaced too, so we told them we'd be back. When we asked for a labor quote on that, he told us that there'd be no charge since it only takes 5 minutes to replace, and it did.\n\nI'm beyond pleased with our experience here--the labor prices were reasonable, the service was fast, and best of all, I don't feel ripped off. I'm never excited about having to visit a mechanic, but at least I know that the next time I need car repair done, I'll be taking my car to a good place and I won't be getting fleeced."^^ . . .
