Market Street Spirit Service

I took my 10 yr old Corolla in because the plastic fastener connecting windshield washer resovoir had broken loose & was leaning towards the alternator. I had used a wire to attach it to the side of the engine compartment for a temporary fix. Harold found out, while ordering the part, that there were 4 possible reservoirs depending on the transmission, whether it had California emissions on it, etc. I had to stop by a second time so that he could get the VIN. When the part came in, he did not charge me for labor and apologized for the delay.

Harold Hezel, owner and mechanic, is always busy and always friendly and positive. He has been my savior when my radiator hose busted on a cold rainy December evening -- stopped in the middle of several jobs to repair my car so I cld get to work in the morning. Harold keeps my 19 year old, 156,000 mile car going with necessary small repairs, and never tries to sell me on work I don't need. He advocates keeping old cars going, and makes it possible to do this with fast, affordable fixes. He answers my questions and explains projects in a clear and direct way. He's very knowledgeable, kind, and fun to talk to. A hero among mechanics!

I have been taking my various clunkers over the past 15 years to Harold. He is always honest, fair and charges very reasonable rates. He is a mechanic's mechanic. He almost salivates when I bring in my Mercury Topaz V-6 with a real timing chain. His parking area usually has 3 or 4 unusual cars parked at his shop: Corvairs, a DeSoto and the German boat-car hybrid sold in the U.S. in the 60s.

Harold is very honest! In the event that he feels he is not the best one for the job (my door on my Odyssey was not working correctly) he recommends where to go. Otherwise he does the job and does it well.
