I tried using a friend mechanic to replace a motor in my car but that created additional mechnical issues with my car and our friendship was lost when I decided to take my car to Mezzio's to get everything the mechanic broke when replacing the motor, repaired. Thankfully the Mezzio staff was understanding, sympathic and very helpful and they were willing to take on everything that needed fixing. That interaction was enough to make me a regular customer for future repairs and maintenance. And yes going to a certified repair facility can be pricey, however, they warranty their parts and labor and their demeanor and caring makes up for it. You also know they're repairing it the right way. My only dosappointment is they close at 5pm M-F No Saturdays so I have to leave work early to make it there before they close to pick up my car.
