    Can someone recommend a good, trust-worthy mechanic in the Snoqualmie / Issaquah or maybe Bellevue area for basic maintenance? I already go to Mule for installs and aftermarket work, I love those guys, but they don't do basic maintenance as far as I know. I also go to Group 2 Motorsports in Ballard to service my other (more exotic) car, but that's a bit of a drive. So, any recommendations for someone closer? I'm talking about every-5k service, but also to keep an eye on overall maintenance of my daily Taco.

    Before you jump all over me, I know I can do a lot of that work myself. But I already maintain two motorcycles, my free time is at a premium and I don't like working in the cold on a gravel driveway, so I choose to pay for some of the stuff that goes much faster with a pro at the tools in a proper garage.

    Thanks!

    A very good friend of mine is the head mechanic here. Very fair prices and great service, plus you are walking distance to Postdoc brewing, and Blazing Bagels while you wait! I have been taking all my families cars there for years.

    edit: Ask for Scott to do your work.
