The ""sleazy"" review of this mechanic feels like a fabrication. I was recommended this mechanic by a friend who had used Varna Auto for several years. I, now have also taken my car to Varna auto for several years.
Here's my average experience:
Something breaks on my car, midweek. I limp my car into Varna Auto at 8:30 AM. The owner's wife gives me a ride to campus, she's friendly and chatty. Around noon the owner calls me, with a prioritized list of repairs my car will need. He tells me whether a repair is needed for safety, needs done soon, or is something not entirely necessary. His crew performs only the repairs that I O.K. over the phone, and my car is returned to me by 5 PM the same day.
I'm happy with the service my car has been receiving at Varna Auto.
Pros: Tells you repair priorities
Cons: Doesn't always check for other broken bits
