Default Trusted Mechanics?

Well previously I've tried to get the place that messed up my car to take responsibility for it but it's not working out so well right now. I need to get my car checked to see what exactly is wrong with it but I am unable to get ahold of the mechanic I normally go to, Madhav, so I was wondering if anyone knows of any trusted mechanics that won't try to break my pockets?
Thank you for your time. Lou

For non-warranty work SOS They recently put on my new suspension, replaced my steering wheel, new front brake pads all pretty reasonably priced.

Furthermore I've had this lame rear brake pad shifting click noise for about 2 1/2 years aggravating to say the least.

They took the time to see if their pads would remove the noise. After putting their new pads in place it still made the noise, then they tried new shims and it still made noise. So they put my parts back and didn't charge me for trying it.

They ended up putting some High temp grease in there and the noise was suppressed for a while before coming back.

I suspect I might try replacing the brackets and calipers down the road but since its just the rear pad shifting noise its not hurting anything.

Regardless they do excellent work and do not try to sell you on things that are not broken!

Yea I have to have the car inspected to find out what is wrong. I changed out the starter and it didn't work. I was thinking the fuel pump next. Car started but wouldn't stay on without me giving it gas. Then after another start it didn't start anymore. So idk smh

definitely SOS. if youre on the west end, my tech Jeff at around camelback and 101 is very inexpensive. I use him for all my pricey cars. It's the only way i could afford to keep them.

I was just at SOS and there was 6 S2000s and 1 NSX! Complete opposite of the usual car count. Only 1 S2000 I didn't know...

If I need to then I'd have to have to towed over there. I need to get it done though. I leave for school soon. Thank you
