I just moved to the Manayunk neighborhood of Philadelphia
and did not know of a trustworthy mechanic. My pick up
truck started making a strange noise so I pulled into
Vince's Service Station. I asked a mechanic, who appeared
to be in charge, how much it would cost to simply get his
opinion of what was wrong with my truck. He immediately
nodded and walked outside, instructing me to turn on the
engine. After listening for a moment he diagnosed the
sound as coming from an exaust leak. Then he put the truck
up on the lift and tried to find the leak (I also really
liked that at this point he began explaining what he was
doing while he did it.) He couldn't find the leak, and
told me that this was because it was probably by the
manifold or was the manifold itself, and that he would have
to remove the heat shield to know for sure. He said that
the worse case scenerio was that I had a cracked manifold,
which would be a fairly expensive repair. I left the truck
overnight and was called the next day at 11am. I was glad
to hear that the problem had simply been the result of a
bolt that had come loose on the manifold. They charged me
$70, which I felt was very reasonable. The big thing for
me was that the mechanic was able to diagnose the problem
quickly, was communicative about all possible outcomes, and
most importantly, that he didn't try to tell me that I
needed a more costly repair. I appreciate it!
