A new business called "My Mechanic" has opened in the strip district.. These guys are a diagnostics *only* business, they don't do any repairs or even recommend mechanics. Therefore they have no reason to tell you more is wrong with your car than really is. Based on my experience, I wholeheartedly recommend them. I was really impressed wiht their proffesionalism and they didn't have the obnoxious attitude that is all too common amongst mechanics. They have a lot of expensive diagnostic equipment that other garages can't afford. I don't have the number offhand, but you can get it from directory assistance.
