Davis Repair
Suddenly, my Honda Accord with 400,800 hassle-free miles coughed to a stop!I never had dealt with a mechanic before. So, I signed up with Angie's List and found Davis Auto Repair with a high rating. I called and talked to Larry Brown, who took time to consult with me and offer advice, alternative possibilities, and possible costs.He recommended a reliable tow service. The tow truck driver showed up on time and took my Honda to Davis' shop.Soon, Larry called and suggested specific solutions. He told me that this particular carburetor ('83 Accord) was very complicated, so I had the option of using a carburetor-specialist across town.As it turned out, long ago Larry had a car like mine (yay). So, I had confidence in Larry's ability, even though we had never met. I told him I would rather do business with someone who can provide other services rather than a specialist whom I would likely never need again.Actually, Larry manages several technicians at Davis. Yet, he did the work himself and took special care of my vintage Honda. We kept in touch by phone. He discovered that the problem what's with the carburetor floats. So he overhauled the carburetor and installed a carburetor kit.Within a few days, Larry called and said the car was ready. When I arrived, I was impressed by his modern, very clean shop. He took the time to explain to me the problems he had solve, and then introduced me to everyone who works there.I was thrilled when I saw my car sitting in the lot... It had been washed and vacuumed, too! And... it drove like brand-new. Money well spent. YAAAY! (last week)UPDATE Yesterday, I returned to Davis for fine tuning of the carburetor. Larry used his skill and intuition for an expert-tweak on the carburetor. Now, it runs PERFECT! YAAAY again! -- MH
