Does Anyone Know A Good Mechanic?!

I do! I do! So, my car has been acting up lately. My radio stopped working about two years ago. It has been stuck on talk radio for about a year, (which I don't mind because I do love me some Rush)but the Mazda dealership told me it was unfixable. So, there was that problem but then recently my car started shaking uncontrollably. I had no idea what to do. While I was driving it would just start shaking, and pushing down on the accelerator wouldn't help at all. It would just kind of cruise along, which is horrible when you are on the tollway. So, I had this big problem with my car and I had no idea what was causing it. Can you imagine how much that would have cost to get fixed at a car place? First they would charge you for trying to figure out what was causing it, then they would charge you for the parts and for fixing it. That's a lot of money! probably about $1,000 or more for everything (because its an engine thing, I assume that would be really expensive).

So, we have this wonderful person in our homegroup who works at Lexus over in Grapevine. He is brilliant when it comes to cars. So, when I told him my car wasn't working, he didn't hesitate to take my car and work on it on his day off. Guess what he fixed! He fixed my problem. ( I still don't know what that was, but it had to do with spark plugs and coils) He put new breaks on my car because he said mine were bad, and HE FIXED MY RADIO!!!!! Guess how much we paid for everything! $250! It would have been less because he is such a nice person and refused to let us pay him extra for fixing it, but we slipped the extra in and wouldn't let him give it back (I still don't think we paid him enough though). When I got in my car and saw that my radio was working, I felt like it was Christmas! Do you know how amazing it is to flip back and forth to different stations?! Its amazing!

So, to sum that up:


Fixed engine
New Breaks
Fixed Radio

$250
