Honest LC Mechanic

Guys I am new to ONSC but have been a long time fan of MUD. Right now I have a 94 with 112000 mi and use it as my DD and weekend scooter for the dogs. I am asking for advice on an honest mechanic in the triangle area. I have a some wrenching experience but very little time to take on projects and need to do some pm on my rig (mainly belts and vaccuum hoses), to try and get rid of my spiratic idling. I have been ripped off by Fred Anderson one too many times and vowed I would never go back and just dont trust those Jiffy Lube guys. Thanks in advance and once I start on the mods would love to join on some weekend rides.

Andrew

Thanks 4Life I have used Henry's Muffler Shop in the past and always come away satisfied. I should be able to find something after reading through both pages.

Hi Andrew, I highly recommend Tao Auto in Cary, they are right off Chatham.

I took my 80 there once for a problem I could not properly diagnose and resolve and they were great.

Since I don't want to screw up my wife's Honda, we take it there. They always do top-notch work on it, and never try to sell something that's unnecessary.
