I thought Steve was better than average in terms of price and expertise. He makes you feel like your getting a good deal, while it ends up being average. Charged $600 for basic diagnosis and no name $200 distributor. Car didn't run right the next day. Found very reasonable local guy who discovered it also needed plugs, wires, dist. rotor and cap. Steve also told me timing belt would go soon - said he could hear if ""flapping"". Turns out belt is fine, saw it myself today. More of the same stuff - mechanics trying to sell you what you don't need, and hammering you on labor.
