Why can't I ask for a car mechanic recommendation?

[Anonymous]

People here ask for recs on doctors, lawyers, roofers, etc. why were my posts asking for a good car mechanic immediately removed?

[Anonymous]

I'm gonna guess it's because you put it in the real estate forum?

[Anonymous]

But it was also removed from the off topic forum. Why?

Actually, your request is still in real estate forum. Just no one has replied.

Thanks for the Murray's rec!

It's still in the real estate forum? Going over to look again...

You can ask for car mechanic recommendations. But, you can't cross post. Somehow, I removed the wrong one.
