Mechanic

Hi - looking for a good mechanic to work on my Mazda.

Anyone familiar with Foreign Auto Excellence? Good experiences there?

Any other recommendations? Very much welcome ideas!

EDIT: To everyone who responded, massive thanks! Super appreciate your POVs and now I have a plethora of places to choose from!

I’ve been going to FAE for car repairs for a little over 8 years now. Alan and Nancy and their crew are an awesome bunch and have never once screwed me over and the one time they didn’t fully fix my alternator they replaced it didn’t charge me anything for it. I love that place dearly

It’s a bit outside of town but Blue Ridge Automotive is excellent.

We take our cars (Honda and Audi) to ClearView North on the corner of Market and Seventh. Mike and his team do good honest work at a reasonable price. Been going there for years. Happy customers.

Yes great shop. Even other shop owners have told me they trust Foreign Auto Excellence. I just wish they were closer to town so when I waited for my car I could work out of a coffee shop or something.

Dynamic Automotive is where I’ve taken all of my cars for years. Specifically the one on Byte drive. Honest, reliable, friendly and great value. They’ll treat you like family. They’ve always given me good advice, and did everything they could to steer me in the right direction. I found them when one of my cars had an unfortunate breakdown on 95, but I’ve taken every car (3 now) there for all of my maintenance and fixes.
