Hello CPers!

So... on my way to work today my car died. The distributor finally decided to stop working, it had been going for a few weeks but I have the next week off so I was hoping it would last until then. Didn't happen.

Anyway, I have a 1989 Honda Civic and I was wondering if anyone knew a good mechanic in the North who might not be too terribly busy. Also, I've done some calling and it seems that a new distributor is about $450-500 but I can get a good used one for $150, does anybody know if I bring the mechanic a good used distributor, will they put it in or insist on the $500 new part?

Thanks in advance!
