Default Honest Mechanic!

I just wanted to throw this out there because i had a great experience at this shop. I never got the feeling of being ripped off or that my car wasn't being handle with the best care. The shop is Absolute PROformance (610) 266-7767. 2227 N 3rd Ave Whitehall, Pa 18052. Kevin (owner) is an awesome guy willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything is done right.

Thanks,
Cliff

yea that's why i posted it. i freak when people work on my car. I won't even let them pull it into the work bay or out. i'm a little paranoid but this shop is awesome and he is good on pricing. I was just hanging around the shop while they worked on my car and they pointed stuff out to me that i could upgrade and things to watch for it was just a total relief to finally find a good shop.

If you cant do everything yourself, or dont have a garage, its soo tuff!!! Im lucky enough to have family for my garage and maintianance, still, I bring the mobile 1, and filters! They know how anal I am, and do the work, and I never have to worry about BS. BUT, the S is a bit out of their realm. So, oil,brakes,coolant,(basic stuff) I trust to them(all I could do myself), and rear, I trust to them (drag Guys!!!) beyond that, Its got to go back to the dealer!
Even funnier! My son has aquired a part time job there. And I need an Oil change! They will be instructed to not let him touch my car! I want him there to observe but not touch! He is a typical teenager smart and dumb within 2 secs.

No! I was only demonstrating how hard it is to get even basic work done, reliably! You might have found a good guy! I hope it continues!

Nick's Auto Repair in Pennsauken NJ right after the canals liquor store on 73 before the FC Kerbeck. Nick Bavas is the owner. Great guy to deal with. he usually doesnt mess with mods that much but if you need something outside your scope of knowlede he is the guy to go to.
