I've been taking my cars to Rod's for twelve years, and this
morning when Tim, who's the guy I go to, gave me some good
advice (for free) about a transmission problem, it occurred
to me to post their name on the Car Talk list of recommended
car repair shops. (To be honest, the thought had crossed
before; but because it's such a small business, I didn't
want to have to wait longer than I already do--a couple
days--to get my own car in.)
Over the years, I've had all kinds of things done at Rod's
(except transmissions, body work, and exhaust system work),
and I've NEVER HAD A SINGLE PROBLEM.
One warning, though: Be sure to get good directions or get
a map from MapQuest or somewhere before you try to find the
place. It's off the proverbial beaten path.

I have taken our family vehicles to Rod's for close to 15
years now, and my kids are starting to take their vehicles
there now as well.
While car repair is never "cheap", the guys at Rod's are
more interested in making sure our vehicles work properly
than in making a buck. And if there is an alternative way
around a problem, they are glad to give you several
suggestions and lots of help. Some examples:
1) my daughter had an elderly college car that burned oil.
Instead of recommending a big engine repair, they just
suggested we put a pint of oil in it when needed and not
spend the money.
2) When a suspension sensor went out on our Tahoe, they
suggested we not get it fixed since the cost would be pretty
high for the benefit we'd get out of it.
3) when my daughter had a problem with her A/C, our mechanic
checked out the problem and found out that a $300 sensor had
gone bad. Noticing that it wasn't an original Honda part, he
checked with the manufacturer and convinced them to replace
it free, even though the part had been replaced when someone
else owned the car
4) knowing how much I detest car shopping, Rod's put me in
touch with an auto broker that they know and trust. He found
and arranged the purchase of a new Tahoe for us that we are
still happily driving 130k miles later
