I have been going to Main Street Motors for around 7 years now. I've had them do carburetor work on an '81 Accord, head rebuild on an '86 Yota, timing belt on a Hyundai Elantra, transfer case seals replaced, smog checks, brake work, oil changes, and transmission flushes.. just to name a few. Every time their quotes and final totals were under other local shops and the work was always done within the time they said it would be. Art and his employees are always straight up about stuff and never mind if you want to watch them working from within their shop. One time after dropping my truck off Art even gave me a ride back home when I didn't have someone to pick me up.\r

Extra note: My loyal business towards Main Street all started with my '81 Honda Accord. It needed a simple water pump swap but while I had it in there I asked if they could look at the carburetor, and possibly have it rebuilt if needed. It started to have power issues when cold along with other signs of carb trouble. I had taken it to Master Tech (another Woodland shop) and they couldn't even tune it because ""it was an odd 3 Barrel carburetor"". Art's guys tuned that carb up to the point it ran better then all the years I had ever driven it before. I kept that car for another three years before I sold it to a neighbor who needed it for going to college. He still drives it to this day.\r

Main Street Motors is the way to go, their shop is a slightly hidden gem down off of College but they are by far the best place in town. Forget Master Tech... unless you want a water pump installed that has a plastic impeller instead of cast. And yes, Main Street replaced that water pump when it failed just seven months after being installed.
