Re: searching4 honest mechanic in anaheim, ca

Everyone knows, mechanics are just like whores. They lay on their backs and screw the public... Sorry, just kidding.
I can't refer you to a specific shop in Aneheim. What year and engine size is your T/A? That kind of price for a major tune is high, alright, but it depends on WHICH car you have.
A major tune on a modern one is expensive. The injector service alone can cost over $250. Add in the wires, coils, etc. and you're right there.
For a '73 with a 455 4-bbl., that's WAY TOO HIGH.
