Looking for recommendation for knowledgeable and trustworthy mechanic to address a growing list of issues I have been deferring on my older model Chevy Suburban. Preferably convenient to NW DC.

Auto Tech Services, just north of Trinidad. They used to be in Adams Morgan for years, but their building was bought for condos.

Excellent pricing, reliable/honest work. You can save money by acquiring parts yourself and bringing/shipping to their garage. For example, I needed to replace a suspension system on a 1999 Subaru and got a great deal online for shocks/struts/springs. Shipping it directly to them and they installed it for like $600.

If they charged you $600 just for *installing* shocks and struts, then they bent you over and didn’t even use lube!

That’s a 2-3 hour job, tops, even if they had to pull the interior trim to get to the rear shock tower bolts. You just paid $200-$300 an hour for labor, when the standard labor rate is $100-$120.

Distad's on Capitol Hill is great - the most trustworthy mechanics in town.

So... do you have a recommendation? Are you available for hire? Halp.

I have enough work to keep me busy 24/7/rest of my life if I didn’t force myself to take time off. I will literally never run out of work. Plus, I don’t think jeff wants me using his site for getting business without him getting a cut, and I hate sharing.

But I’d recommend Kaufman’s in north Bethesda. Good shop. A competitor of mine, but the truth is, there’s so much work out there that competition doesn’t really matter.
