Any website that reviews car mechanics?

I havent been able to find a good mechanic around here and really need to bring my car in, its overheating. Anyone have a good website? Went to the Car Guys website, but every freaking mechanic gets praise on there.

yelp.com is big in the bay area for stuff like this (and everythign else you would do). Try it for LA.

I think that Angie's List does this?? May be a pay site, though.

I remember seeing a local consumer mag that did one for Mechanics in the D.C. metro area.

I'll have to see if I can dig it up.


My rule of thumb for mechanics is that I look at the inside of the shop area to see how ordered and clean it is. The ones with tools laying around and a mess on the floor are usually ones to avoid. Also, watch them and see how they move cars around the lot. If they zip around and don't use any caution even in a tight lot I wouldn't let them touch my car.

Half of the dealerships don't even pass this muster. The ones that do are usually pretty good to deal with.
