We've had both our cars in (one newer, one older) to Terry and his prices have been consistent, often are the lowest in the area, but not always. But he is honest about what needs to be done, approaches things in a logistical manner (do now, can be done later), which is worth it to us. Even when he is not the lowest, he is usually within 25-50 dollars. I agree that he won't directly tell you he doesn't want a particular job, but his code is ""this needs to go to the dealer"". Some repairs are just probably more time intensive and they probably don't do enough of to make the time/labor equation work in their favor. I don't begrudge them this. We will continue to take our cars back to him. \r
Pros: reliable, honest, fair pricing
Cons: doesn't want some jobs, but may not outright admit
