I found this shop online and decided to give it a try based on the positive reviews. From the start, Karim has been friendly, accomodating and upfront about the costs. I came in with a list of concerns (and a tight budget) and he broke it down into the ""must do"" vs ""should do"" and even ""don't need to do""! Another time, after discovering that an expensive component was still under warranty, he actually arranged to drop off and pick up my car at the Honda dealership, at no cost! Trustworthy mechanics are hard to come by (if you're automotive-challenged, how do you really know if your car's warp speed ion defibrillator needs replacing??) so SM Motors has been a godsend.
Pros: Great service, won't shake you down
Cons: No formal waiting area; not open on the weekend
