Greetings, all....

As mentioned on the General Tech board, I may be purchasing a 1986 Trans Am project car later this week. I'm not an expert mechanic and I don't have a garage, so it goes without saying that I'll need to take it to a shop every so often.

Can anybody reccomend any good shops in the Philly area that won't rip me off, and also do state inspections? (I live in the East Falls / Germantown area, near Philadelphia University.)

I'll probably also need a body shop as well (car has minor accident damage and will likely need to be repainted at some point), but that's not an immediate need.

Bonus points if the shop is located near SEPTA or PATCO public transit, so that I can get to/from home in case I need to leave the car overnight.

Thanks in advance...
