Why I Need a New Mechanic
I used to have a very trustworthy car mechanic. He’s still trustworthy, actually. And, he is very good. So good, in fact, that he is often booked up solid.
However, I lost my mechanic in my divorce. ? Well, not really, but he is my ex’s cousin and although I can use him without a hitch, I feel a little uncomfortable doing so. After all of that, I tried my dealer and then a good little garage near my daughter’s school. I like the world they have done, but they have failed to fully fix one of the problems my van is having and I wonder if I need to just look around for someone else.
Since nobody I know has a mechanic they feel they can recommend highly, I am considering using a referral service of sorts. MechanixLoop.com is a Beta service online where you can search any location in the United States and find reviews on local auto repair places. It’s free and it has reviews on over 115,000 repair centers, so it seems like a logical place for me to begin looking. All you have to do is input your city of zip and you’ll find specific Auto Repair Atlanta results – or wherever you happen to live.
I’ve seen both good and bad reviews on MechanixLoop.com, so I assume they invite honesty and don’t filter out anything that is not glowing. Many of the reviews are gathered from across the internet, so there is a huge database available. I found my current and past mechanics and agree with much of what the reviewers have to say.
