mechanics

hey, i'm needing to do a few repairs on my car and i'm wondering which mechanic does a good job with a fair price?
and how much could i expect to pay for replacing my left front tie rod, timing chain change, and fix a leak in my gearbox?
thanks for any help

I would say that everyone thinks they have the perfect place to get work done on their cars, and they are all different.

Your best bet is to just jump in and try a place that seems and looks good - other than that you'll just take there word on where someone says is good.

It's spelled Mechanics.

AWWW thanx guys, but I'm only a mechanic to myself, sometimes to others, but when it comes to doing every possible job in the book, Gerry is in my mind But he's not around here to give anyone deals, you pay the shop rate but he does a stunning job.

Another vote for Gerry at Levett. He brought my firebird back from the brink of disaster.
