Need mechanic recommendations near Burlington, MA.

We have a 1989 Mazda 626 with just over 200k on it. It's been running great for years, but wouldn't start after the recent rain storms. We usually take it to a family friend who works on cars, but we've found he's not doing a very good job, so we're looking for recommendations of a new mechanic near Burlington, MA. Someone on the cheap-side would be good, as we don't want to put a ton of money into the car.

is somerville too far away? i know a bunch of folks who are happy with abj (local.yahoo link) in somerville, and i've had pretty good results with them.

Response by poster: Somerville isn't too far. Thanks for the suggestion. Looks like they specialize in VWs, which I have, so that is doubly good!

Highly recommended. I learned about them from a roomie, used them for years, and they've always been fantastic.

And the first car they worked on for me was my Jetta!

Have you checked out themechanics files? Very handy resource.

I went to Arco Tire, in Somerville, and have been very happy with them--the only annoying thing is that Clarendon turns into a one way street about half a block from Arco, so you can't get there from Mass Ave. and have to take Broadway instead.

If Hoang Auto Repair in Lowell is run by Bi (Lee) Hoang, use them.

I used Bi's old garage, Double-Check in Billerica, years ago and was really impressed by his work and prices. Double-Check is gone, and I can't find out more about Hoang Auto Repair on-line, but give them a call. If it's run by Bi, give them a shot.
