Thats an interesting name, and those are excellent attributes (fast, honest,
not expensive). I wish I could find someone who fits those attributes up
here in the Bay Area. When I was down in Southern California my best
experience was with Precision German Motors in West Covina. Up here in the
Bay Area, Volkscafe seems decent but their garage is too small so you have
to schedule in advance if they'll even let you do that, and really I prefer
that the guy I talk to at the counter is a mechanic himself and not just a
translater of what the "mechanic" did or found. Then Fred's Garage in
Redwood City wants 500+ to put in a radiator. 350 to 400 seems reasonable,
and something about the people there leave me unsettled. Like they did some
work on it and the receipt makes no mention of how many miles were on the
vehicle, nor is there any mention of what part numbers were used, and when
they looked at the radiator they didn't pressure/ize the system to check for
leaks. I don't know if I'm overeacting because I don't know them or what,
but I miss Precision.
