Anyone Have A Good Auto Mechanic?

[acurrie]

Just wondering if anyone has recommendations for a good automotive mechanic, preferably in the sarcee, bow trail, crowchild (south) area. Not in desperate need, but always good to know you can count on someone.

 

thanks,

I would see John at the Scenic Acres Husky. Top notch service and he won't take you for a ride.

John has been good to me as well, and if you need your skates sharpened he will do a bang up job on them as well.

Funny.. I was just looking for the same thing yesterday and today.

 

Mike's Auto Service in Marda Loop seems to have a great reputation as well:

Thanks for the suggestions.

 

I seem to be having some transmission trouble (lots of bad noises) and was wondering what places in the city have a good reputation. If you get into the wrong shop with tranny trouble they can really take you for a ride.

 

thanks in advance.

 

p.s. I will stay away from change auto & transmission

I take my vehicles to Folk Automotive of off Ogden Road on 16a street. They've always treated me right, and the only time I had something go wrong (not even their fault, it was a set of faulty struts) they made it right with no hassel.

 

In fact, we had the clutch go in our car on the way home last winter and a shop in the town where I live quoted $2500 to replace it and we would have to wait two weeks on parts. I called Folk and they were able to get in the same day plus they were about $700 lower. Even with a tow in to town we still came out money ahead.
