dropped 'er off and I have high hopes... Family run, they took me back to the lift and let me see underneath, not a speck of rust... so happy..

They're gonna rebuild brakes/shocks/fluids, and general maintenance... will report back with price...

In my experience, good shops don't last too long. The mechanics come and go, the family that owns the shop changes, fights happen, life happens, and then the favorite shop is not as good anymore.
