I wonder if he has a brother in boston.

In tinkering with the car, it has become painfully obvious that to be really effective, one needs a lot more tools than I have, and maybe some of those little ramp-things. I don't have room for any of that stuff, which means that someday, and possibly someday soon, I will need a mechanic.

There was a certain mechanic back in LA that I was very fond of. He was a kind, quiet man, who i knew was going to be honest about what was wrong and how best to fix it. He got a lot of business from us, because the car we had (an old Volvo) was falling apart. We came in, said "guess what, this is broken" and he could just fix it. We trusted him to be honest and do it right, and he always did.

How do I find a guy like that?
