Can anyone refer a good local mechanic who doesnt take 2 weeks to fix your car and doesn't charge you an arm and a leg (i.e. John Johns's) ?

John-Johns has been dependable for me. I've been using them since it was Santa Rosa auto as well. Never had a problem and very professional.

We were told NOT to go to John-John but Mr. OM was determined because he didn't want to have our car towed into Destin & he could actually get it there.
I have to say John-John has been great with our Accord. They didn't charge for things they could have, i.e., we Mr. OM went to pick it up from fixing some other things, they thought the fuel pump went out. They were going to cut us on the cost, as we had put a TON of money into it (basically a complete overhaul), but come to find out, he cleaned it out (can't remember the details) and it didn't need a fuel pump.... he didn't charge us a thing. Also, we had some things fixed that we had been told in ATL that we had to take it to the dealership or we couldn't have it done.
John-John's really has been great for us.

Not exactly "local", but there is a guy in FWB named Vern. His "shop" is right past the corner of eglin and racetrack rd, on the left. It looks like a total shanty and there's a million cars piled up all over the place. But I swear, he has the BEST service and prices I've ever seen in my life. A totally honest guy, been located right there for something like 40 years. My mom actually walked out of there one time with a total bill of $10!! She gave him a $20 tip for being so honest, lol! He did a great job when I used him too, on Thanksgiving weekend of all times. Fit me in and got me done in one day. Absolutely fabulous.

Take all my auto repair work to Frimet and they have been great in getting me in and out quickly at fair prices. Henry's on Front Beach Road is the best for foreign cars.
