Try what we did
After getting screwed by one mechanic (to top it off I am female urgh)
I told them that I do Adult Sites and got a little aquainted with them (Gee, how are the kids, blah blah)
My mechanic now has a life time pass for all my sites and they are very cool about it. He told me on my old car what exactly was wrong how I could get around fixing it for only about 10 bucks instead of 1000..
Or look around, one of your buddies is about to know a buddy who works with cars. But than of course we live in the country, everybody works on their own car or quad around here.
