While I suppose it's ideal not to see your automobile repairman often, it's also nice to have a friendly, reliable face who knows you.  My family has been taking various vehicles here for decades and receiving them in better shape than we left them.  They've checked out potential purchases (none of which have been lemons).  They've even given friendly discounts (or at least it seemed less than I thought it should have been). It's not easy to find a courteous, consistent, and skilled auto repair shop, and that explains why mt healthy auto continually has a full lot.  But if you become a regular, they'll find a way to work you in. - Christoffer M.
