If you have a European car, I highly recommend Crossroads European
Automotive, at the intersection of NC 55 and NC 54. Phone is 544-6868.

These guys are superb craftsmen, not just part-swappers. Their prices
are reasonable compared to dealers, but hey... it's never cheap to fix a
Benz or Bimmer anywhere.

I would recommend the mechanic I use to anyone.  His name is
Francis Robinson and he works out of Glenn's salvage yard on Wrenn Rd.
(which is in southeast Durham, near where 70 meets Miami Blvd.).
His phone number is 596-5466 (ask for Francis, as one of the Glenn's
always answers the phone).

His shop is not very fancy, and he will take the car out to another
shop if it needs certain equipment for the repair (like a front-end
allignment does).  He is really great at finding used parts (perfect
for keeping my old cars on the road).  And the best things about
him are his honesty, his reasonable rates (I've never found anyone
who would fix a car for less), and his willingness.  He's come out
to repair my car where it is if I can't get it into the shop, and if
I ever find that the repair hasn't fixed the problem to my satisfaction
I just have to bring it back in and he he'll do whatever he has to,
usually for free and always quickly.  (Not that that happens often,
but it's impressed me when it has.)  He's restored my faith that there
are at least a few honest, reliable, skilled mechanics out there.

This is a test to see if an anonymous posting is possible.

I have used Phil's Toy Store for all of my Toyota repairs.  His shop is near the airport 
just off of Hwy 70.  They have done good work at reasonable prices and even recently
we took our car in for a tuneup and they called and told us that it was in good 
shape & didn't need one, but
they had found a leaking pipe and thought we might want to replace it since we were
slowly losing coolant.

For Mazda work I've used McNair Performance -- they work on Mazdas & Volvos.

For Hondas or Subarus (I think they also work on others, now), I can't 
recommend WASP highly enough.  They're friendly, honest, with 
reasonable rates.  286-9277.  If it's a Subaru, ask for Pete.  They're
also willing to give advice if you're inclined to do a lot of your own 
work.
