| Honest mechanics in Langley/Abbotsford?
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for an honest mechanic near Abbotsford and Langley. Looked around Reddit, Yelp, and other places online but there were little reviews for mechanics in these two cities.
Does anyone have positive experiences with mechanics who gave it to them straight, didn't overdiagnose or overcharge them and were genuinely honest with them?
Thanks a lot!

I'm guessing PPI= Pre Purchase Inspection?
I guess in this case it would be better to take it to a shop

Went to h&a auto this weekend to get my 97 civic timing belt done. This guy is legit cool, good prices, and knew his stuff. He fit me in on a weekend and had me out in a few hours. Chatted about car stuff for about an hour too.
Going back for all my maintenance from now on. Good suggestion dk.
