The guy who fixes all of our plow trucks (we have many) and plows for us is a great mechanic, he's fixed my personal car many times. PM me if you have an interest and I'll get you a quote.

I always used Lloyd's Automotive on Grand Avenue in St. Paul, and they always priced me very fairly. Never charged me for anything I didn't need done. Give them a call and see what they quote you. They seem to believe in the philosophy of making their money off of you a little bit at a time over a couple of decades, rather than trying to cash in every time you pull into their driveway.

Impact Auto in Farmington. I got my brakes done there for a great price. They even allow you to bring in your own parts and they install them for you. You save a lot of money if you purchase your own parts. Those brakes I paid $100 for from Napa would have cost me nearly double that if I let a shop purchase them for me and then mark them up. They are honest guys, and I've taken my car in there before for an apparent issue, and they said it's nothing to worry about. A dishonest shop could have lied to me and told me I needed to have some work done asap, and I wouldn't have known. They are a small business so they care about customers. It's not a national chain like Goodyear that will rip you off bigtime.
