I hope this is the correct forum. Generally I only see negative comments here, but I hope that a recommendation will be received as well.
I recently had occasion to have some electrical work done on my car. It's an
ancient beast ('69 Buick) and I was rather afraid to take it in since the value
of the car is at best $700 or so (maybe as scrap metal).
Anyhow, I took it to Bascom Auto Electric. They replaced the starter, advised
me that several other things SHOULD be done (sound familiar?) and then asked
what I wanted to do. I opted for the new starter, a replaced battery cable
and nothing more. They understood and did the job for less than the estimate.
Additionally, they gave me a ride home from the shop and picked me up to get
the car. BTW: they dropped me by the bank on the way home since they dont
take checks so I could get some cash.
The service was great, the price was reasonable and my car now runs like it did
prior to the "problem". I am very pleased that I didn't get fleeced (or at
least I dont feel I was).
If you're interested, they are on Bascom Avenue, just south of San Carlos
on the left side as you're travelling south.
