I highly recommend this mechanic for any SC owner in the R.I. area. He is specifically knowledgeable about SC's. He fixed my car on 3 occasions. The first time had to do with my idle control. He diagnosed, obtained the part, and installed it on a Saturday in 2 hours for @ $150. The second time I called him on my cell phone about a tie rod. It was nice to arrive and see cars lined up next to the building and the middle bay open waiting for my ailing beast. The part was sitting on the shelf when I pulled my car onto the lift. It was installed in ten minutes for a total of $75 and fifteen minutes. The third encounter was the best. The dealer had my car for a month trying to diagnose my brake problem (you may have seen my question in the forums). After the dealer billed me $125 to tell me the part cost $2100 plus 6 hours labor at $75/hr, I decided to visit my new friend. A couple days later he called to tell me mine was as good as new at a price of $244! He diagnosed the accumulator problem and sent his mechanic to locate and remove the part then installed it in my car at 10 times less (at least) than the dealer wanted.
