A decent repair shop
Monday, August 15, 2005
I took in an old Mercedes to this shop with a laundry list of problems to get an estimate on repair. It took almost 2 weeks to get my appointment, but I figured that was a good sign. They provided transportation for me after dropping it off and promised it by the afternoon. They were honest about things, but maybe a bit too honest. When I was speaking with the owner on the phone, he proceeded to list off all the problems and eventually just said something along the lines of, "this car has alot of problems and it really just isn't worth it to get them fixed". While it may have been the truth, I felt it was his way of saying I looked at it, saw some things, and then decided it wasn't worth further investigating. Either way, the shop was mostly courteous and did give me some advice on what to do next. The estimate did cost $75, but based on the number of customers, I would guess they must do a pretty decent job.
