My husband handled all our car repairs during our nine-year marriage. Right after we separated, my car died. One of my fears about separating was that I'd get taken advantage of because of my lack of knowledge about cars. I had read "Street Smart Secrets" several months prior and had found a mechanic using the book's guidelines in case my car ever broke down. This mechanic looked at my car and me holistically, checked out all the systems, diagnosed what was wrong and gave me rides back and forth. My whole philosophy about how to maintain my car has changed. I'm moving soon and I'll use the checklists and questions in the book to pick a new mechanic. I'm also going to apply this philosophy to choose other service providers. Thanks for giving away the secrets to finding an honest mechanic.
