Moberg's is great. My family of five lives within walking distance of work, so we have only one car. And we rely on it for daily tasks like getting our kids to school but also for loading down to the grandparents in Texas or camping several times a year.
Pete and Mike and Deb are great. They are easy to talk to, extremely helpful, and will answer any question or explain any issue—and in a way that a non-mechanic like me can understand. They always explain what *needs* to be done, what *should* be done, what *could* be done, and what I *can expect* soon, and with a ballpark price. And Pete knows how we use our car. He frequently asks if we're planning one of our long trips soon. "If so, then you'll probably want to have X looked at first. But you're fine for your daily driving."
Because we use our car daily, it is difficult to go without it. But Moberg's does the work quickly—most of the time we have it back by the end of the business day. And their waiting area is a nice place to get some work done.
People have many choices for a mechanic, but my circles of friends chooses Moberg's. I'm always amazed that people don't say "the shop" or "the dealer," but "Moberg's"—as if everyone already knew that this was the only place to take your car. They're fair, friendly, fast, but, most importantly for a mechanic: trustworthy.
