Default Can anyone recommend a good mechanic?

Can anyone recommend a good mechanic? Preferably on the north side and who specializes in Saturns. There is a Saturn dealership in Edmond, but everyone says to stay away from dealer mechanics (too expense and untrustworthy). I'm not too concerned about expense, as long as the job is done right and they are trustworthy and honest. Any recommendations?
(Sorry if there is already a post about this, I couldn't find one)

Swanson's downtown. It's at around 10th and Hudson. It's a white garage building thing. They're a full service shop. They never lie to me or try to sell me needless maintenance.

They're good people and they've been around for many, many years.

I'll second Swansons. I've been going there 15 years and they've always been honest and fair.

Third Swanson's. When I had to get new tires last summer, the person who spoke to me on the phone explained why my old tires had worn out so quickly, the tires I should get, and then he told me he put the same tires on his wife's car.

I hope he likes his wife But I have had excellent service there, they don't push you into anything you don't need, and they take care of the job in a timely manner.

Swanson's is great. I have a good guy close to them..but, he stays so busy....I tend to keep my mouth shut about him.

I've had word done at the Saturn store on 240 when I owned one and they were way too expensive. I learned to go to local shops with a good "word of mouth" reputation. Saturns are just cars, parts aren't too much different between makes so any reputable mechanic should be able to help you out.

100% Tran's Auto Repair in Edmond on Third and Broadway. (Just off of Broadway on Third).

He is fantastic. He's done quite a few things for me and always charges a fair price. If he works half an hour, he charges me for a half an hour. He and his coworker are polite and always very nice and answer any questions you have. THey will even save the damaged part to show you what was wrong with it if you want. Number one in my book!!
