Finding a good mechanic is difficult. Finding an honest and affordable mechanic is even harder. And then there is Goldie. The mechanic from heaven. If you are like me you don’t know anything about fixing cars but you do like to know what and how things are being fixed. This is what Goldie does, he takes your car and looks at what needs to be done he shows you what needs fixing and why it needs fixing. He sources the right parts and puts you back on the road at a fraction of the cost of most mechanics and while you are never happy about paying money to fix a car you will always feel better after working with Goldie.
You can meet Goldie at Genuine Import Auto Service Inc.
