I had lived in this area for 11 years, and that whole time, I have never found a mechanic that I entirely trusted. As a result, I spent a lot of money at the dealer whom often seemed to be trying to get me to do work that didn't need to be done. (ie. a new timing belt months after it was replaced.)
So, after my neighbor called me to rave about her new mechanic for the third time, I decided to try him. I took my car to Chuck Cabena, and he diagnosed and fixed a problem that others had been unable to diagnose, much less fix. I have had no more problems with that issue nor have I been at all disappointed with any other work he has done. In fact, he has on more than one occasion told me that I did not need to have a repair done at the current time.
Now, it seems like our whole street is gladly carpooling each other to Cabena's for our vehicles. (Of course, he always reminds us that he WILL come get us if we need it.) I can't imagine not being happy with his services.
