can anyone recommend a good car mechanic in the Birmingham area?
Carrie D. replied:
Rainaldi's in Homewood has always been good to me. I highly recommend them. I referred a friend to them last week and she found that they were the cheapest, as well. 205-942-6893

Alternative Garage is awesome. I have sent my cars to Alternative since I've lived in Birmingham. Always honest and fair, with fair rates. (3024 3 rd Ave S Birmingham, AL 35233 205.322-4830)

As Richard Dabney said I had a good experience with the mechanic at Express Oil on Rocky Ridge Road several months ago. Unable to recall his name. Very good experience and communication. Didn't detect deceit at all.

When it comes to car repairs other than oil changes, I have had terrible experiences with Express Oil. They may be good for simple repairs but doubtful for anything else.

Might be too late but RC Motors Inc.. Call and talk to Chris Harris or Terry. They will come pick up your car and bring it back to you. Love them!
Recommendations for BMW/auto repair shop? I recently have been getting a transmission malfunction error on my 2008 BMW 528i. I just had to replace a couple things...

Stephen at Oxmoor automotive is the only man I trust. He had his shop in Avondale several years ago then joined the Volvo guy in Homewood.

Element Garage in 5 th Av N. The guy specializes in BMW, Subaru, and Saab. Honest and does good work. I've been going there for several years and recommend.

Another vote for Green Garage. Wherever you go, do it asap because lots of independent shops close for the week between Christmas and New Year's day.
Anyone know a good diesel mechanic, especially familiar with the powerstroke 6.4 engine and more specifically...the exhaust system? Thanks in advance,.

Mike at Vestavia Auto. Might not get a deal, but definitely won't get fucked. Good guy. Hell of a mechanic.
Michael, Vestavia Auto is awesome. They saved my car engine on my Mazda and bought me 3 more years with that car. Ever since that time, they have my loyalty.
Sharon B. replied:
Vestavia Auto is great. Agree with LaDonna about Mike.
