Good mechanic in mid-michigan

I was wondering if anyone could give me any help on finding a good cheap mechanic near me. I've already taken my iroc to a mechanic and he somewhat fixed the car. He got it to idle smother but the car still won't lock up the brakes. I've been working on the car since I got it in the spring and I'm getting fed up with it. Any advice on where to go would be helpful. Thanks

Re: Good mechanic in mid-michigan

Please fill out your profile and let us know where you are and how far you are willing to go. Mid-Michigan is a pretty large area.
I have always done my own brake work, but when something comes up that I don't have time or tools for, I go to Hank Graff in Davison. I am a Master ASE Certified technician and I have had them work on every vehicle I have owned at least once. They do good work, see Scott VanAlst.

I'm pretty much willing to go anywhere that I'm convinced can do I good Job and fix it right for a good price (with in reason maybe 100 miles but not a limiting factor if there good.) Being a pore highschool student and all I've got a vary limited budget.

Re: Good mechanic in mid-michigan

Do you have iron rear disk calipers or alum ones. Or is it drum brakes in the rear. Assume the front's are the stock 10.5" disks
