Hell Toupée!!!
Having a good mechanic is invaluable...I used the same guy from the time I was in highschool...I moved an hour away and still brought my vehicles to him until he retired in 2010.
100% true..... my previous guy (who i know and jammed with a few times) was great but he closed his shop and moved on so i went around the corner to another place (guy's names are jim and james) ....been going to them the last 8 years or so.
thing is the older guy jim lived beside my cousin for over 35 years and is good friends with him so i lucked out.... theyre f***ing awesome.... i drop off my vehicles and let them do whats needed. no bullshit and i can trust them.
same with my auto body guy dave ...i sold him my 72 ford maverick a few years ago, he's another trustworthy guy. when some lady dented my back left side in front of the rear lights he did the job off of here insurance paying.
he quoted 1000, the insurance recommended shop quoted 1500 and another independent quoted like 1400.
i went with my guy which required a in person inspection by her insurance company two weeks later
i ended up with a cheque for 1300 in both my name and dave's name...i signed it all over and got him to paint the truck cap i found for 350 at the wreckers to match the truck..... now the whole thing looks brand new as the cap is a perfect match.... looking great for an '07 with 84,500 miles on it
