My 1998 Lexus ES300 was due for a new timing belt and transmission fluid service so I jumped on Craigslist to locate a local (non-franchised) ASE Certified Master Technician. As a home-based business owner I prefer to support other home based businesses, so I specifically search out those individuals who prefer to work for themselves.

I shot Jeremy an email to get an idea of pricing for the timing belt and associated parts, including water pump, tensioner & drive belts, and the trans fluid service. Jeremy promptly replied with a competitive quote and we scheduled the appointment to get the work done. I dropped my car off in the morning and it was done that afternoon.

I do most regular vehicle maintenance myself, but prefer to leave the more complex work to a professional. I’ve had my car worked on by quite a few mechanics over the years, but none as conscience as Jeremy. He has a fully equipped shop on premises and he keeps it clean and organized, which tells you what kind of Technician he is. I didn’t need to clean greasy hand prints off my door handles or steering wheel (like I do with most shops) and the car performed great after the work was completed.

It’s hard to find a quality independent and Master Certified Automotive Technician, but when you do, it’s worth the search. Their training goes beyond the standard skill-sets and it’s obvious to me Jeremy valued that training.

I wont hesitate to call Jeremy when I need any future vehicle work performed, and I’m sure you will as well once you utilize his services.
