Looking for a great, honest, hard working mechanic? We can help you find one.

Want to recommend one? Even better.

Either way, you've come to the right place.

The Mechanics Files is a humongous database of over 16,000 great mechanics, recommended by -- and for -- the Car Talk community. You can search by criteria you specify, or just find a recommended mechanic who's within pushing distance of your dying jalopy.

P.S. This is for customers ONLY. Recommenders must provide e-mail addresses so we can verify that you're not filling out a recommendation on behalf of yourself, your boss, your friend, your kids or your brother-in-law who owns the local "Pokey Lube." If you do, we'll find out, delete it, and then publicly humiliate you.
