Anyone have any mechanics or auto repair centers in Chicago that are good to deal with and do honest work? The Bear Claw van blew a starter motor and rather than fixing it myself on the street which I just don't have time for I could use some referrals.

Thanks,

Scott

I went to the Albany Auto Clinic at 3848 w. lawrence per Tim Midgett's recommendation to get our van worked on and they were awesome.

oh! I just saw that your van may be stranded without the starter, try my buddy Juan. He always does housecalls for me and fixed a dead fuel pump on the street for me a few years back.

Juan used to work at the same school where I taught. He left to become a mechanic full time. Honest and fair, tell 'em Faiz ("fez") sent you.

I took advice from that old Kerbled thread and when to Norm's... had great luck with him twice.

I'd recommend Ashland tire for some basic stuff, as well. Sounds like tim's reco is pretty solid though.
