Looking for Auto Garage Recommendations

[Reaper]

Do any of you CP'ers have a garage they take their car to or know any shade tree mechanics who are reasonable? I'm going to need to do some work on our Neon (uggghhh) and I'm looking to do it for as little as possible. I'll even go pick up the parts I need from where I can get the best deal and then take them to the garage for installation. If possible, I'd like to find somewhere in the south that is reasonable.

Thanks in advance.

This reminds me of a classic Canadian joke:

"Phillip: I'm looking for a mechanic. Can you tell me how to get to the auto garage?

Terrance: Sure, buddy! All you need to do is go down to the...........................[letting out a big long fart, drowning out whatever he is saying].......................and that's how you [boys join in] get to the auto garage!

Phillip: Can you tell me how to get to the auto garage without farting?

Terrance: Sure. You go the same way [Kyle chimes in] except stick your finger up your ass.

Phillip: No no no! I mean, could you tell me the directions again without you farting?

Terrance: OOOH! Sure! Just stick your finger up my ass.

Phillip: Alright, no problem, buddy. [Terrance lowers his pants enough to show his ass; Phillip sticks his finger in there] Now, tell me: How do I get to the auto garage to see a mechanic?

Terrance: [now wearing a mechanic's hat] You're at the auto garage. I am the mechanic.

Phillip: Why the heck didn't you tell me you were the mechanic?

Terrance: Because I had an itch up my ass."

"I had an itch up my ass"...CLASSIC!

Not in the south but Master Tune on 32nd NE near McCall does good, honest work.

SouthPro Auto was always good to me, my dad still uses them. I would highly recomend them. They saved me $2000 on repairs back in '02 over what another place quoted me. Its on Horton Rd by the Carwash. Actually they just saved my sister about 500 on repairs the dealership "said" should be done. They don't screw you around and will explain exactly whats wrong, when the electrical fried on my old mazda truck, he actually brought out the electrical guide and showed me what happened.
