I've taken two cars to Bellingham Automotive for various repairs: a 1991 Honda Civic and a 1990 Geo Prizm. They did a great job every time and were very helpful. Not the cheapest place in town, I'll wager, but the service makes up for it. Once I got in over my head changing a valve cover gasket. I was trying to do as much of the work myself as possible. The plastic spark plug "sleeves" were stuck in the valve cover and I lacked the right tools to remove them. There I was with the valve cover off and no way to proceed other than to have the car towed to a real mechanic. I took a chance and called Bellingham Automotive and told them I wanted to bring the car in for the remainder of the repairs...but it wouldn't run without a valve cover. They let my wife bring the part in (I was at work) and removed the spark plug sleeves and even cleaned up the cover for no charge. You can bet I took the car straight to them when I got the cover back on!
