I've tended to do most of my own work when I could over the years and have only taken things to him that I didn't know how to fix or that were a bigger job than I wanted to hassel with. He's knows his stuff and has never told me something was wrong that wasn't--I've tested this because usually I knew what was wrong and didn't want to do it myself out of the size of the job. That and every time I always could honestly say that I wouldn't have charged less than he did. He's a good guy. You wouldn't be down this far probably, but there's Nyscoe Motors in Santa Ana worth avoiding at ALL cost. Somehow I've had people refer them to me, but they not only do shoddy work, they jack up part prices to the ceiling and I highly suspect that they did an unneccessary cylinder head replacement on my bus. After dealing with them, I have learned to always to go through the extra hassel of getting my car down to Tom in Signal Hill. Never take convenience over the certainty of a good mechanic, Nyscoe was a nightmare I was lured into because they were 15 minutes on surface streets from where I live, while Tom is a 30 minute drive on the freeway in good traffic. But very well worth it!
