I did not have a great experience with them.  I took in my '84 for service
a year ago, and they did quite a bit of work on it, which my mechanic in
Miami, whom I've known a bit longer and trust, said was mostly unecessary.

I would highly recommend Swedish Imports off 15-501 on the way to Chapel Hill
from Durham.  A few months ago, my car would sporadically refuse to catch, but
be fine the next day.  They replaced the fuel relay for 1/2 their original
estimate of $60, and the car has been fine ever since.

If you also want to know about body shops for hopefully unecessary future
reference, I would try either the Brown Brothers off Old Erwin or Matthews
Brothers.

Good luck!
