(No advice on bodywork - I never had a need). Many people at CMU use Bruno's in East Liberty - be careful, there are 2 bruno's in the phone book. Bruno's is a little place in an alley behind a small side street that is one way in the wrong direction. They do not advertise at all - not even a listing in the yellow pages. Yet, it can take 2 weeks to get them to see your car. Their word of mouth reputation is outstanding. Their reputation is that they are cheap and honest - I haved heard mixed things about their technical ability. For my last few years in Pittsburgh, I used T.E. Fall's in Homestead. He usually took me right away, relatively cheap and very honest. He gives loaner cars when he has yours. Don't be offended if he's impolite to you... he's that way with everyone. As far as the local places in Squirrel Hill, Forbes&Murray Gulf does moderate work at fairly high prices. Very convenient location is the one positive. The place at Murray and Beacon (used to be Sunoco, but they switched to ???)... well... I wouldn't even buy gas from them. I have had very negative experiences with them and others have had similar experiences. If I were not posting this publicly, I would say even stronger things about them.
