Reputable Mechanic in Philadelphia Area?

I have an 07 type-s and I'm coming up on the 105k service. I need a good mechanic that won't try to make all of his money on me. Any suggestions?

I've posted this ad before, so, dependeing on which part of Philly you're located, give Hamilton Honda a call as they are just off 195 in Hamilton on Rt. 130 North.

Others have had it done, both 2G and 3G, no problems.

My friend Mark Bui works on my car at Em2 Automotive & Performance. Specializes in imports.

25th & Washington Ave in Philadelphia, PA

Look for RSX's, Evos, Rx-7's outside

Did you ever find someone good in the Philly area to do the timing belt?

Also, does anyone know if there are there any mechanics from the Philly area here on Acurazine or wherever who do good side work and are interested in more? (I'm just west of the city, King of Prussia)

I just bought a 2007 TL-s and have a few things I want / need done and I find that when I can take cars to someone on the side I learn alot more. Plus I have two accords that could use some misc. work too.

Any suggestions, or is there a better place on these boards to look for this?
Thanks!

Carlo's Tire & Auto Repair is a pretty chill spot. I go there from time to time, not sure of what his rates are nowadays, but he prefers straight cash when paying, they do good work. They're located in northeast Philly off Red Lion Rd & Bustleton Ave behind the McD's. I don't have the exact info on me but here's what i found online:

842 Red Lion Rd # 21
Philadelphia, PA 19115-1475
