Located near Kipling and Colfax. Anybody know anything about this shop? Good? Bad?

So a friend of mine says they were driving down the road and the vehicle just stalled out and would not start again. Vehicle in question is a 97 Honda accord auto tranny. This person has bad luck with vehicles to say the least. I'm sure it's a combination of poor decision making when buying the vehicle and being oblivious to signs of immanent failure so I have limited sympathy but none the less I'm tired of listening to them complain(seriously this person has no idea what happens when you press the skinny pedal except the car moves when you do so).

So right now their vehicle is at this shop being diagnosed for possible electrical issues and has been there for a couple days now with no results except to say 'It's not the computer'. Just wondering if anybody knows good or bad about this shop. The sooner this vehicle is back on the road the sooner I don't have to hear complaining about it :D

I've taken a couple of my cars there a few times. They fixed the cars and seem to charge a reasonable amount.

I dealt with them a few years ago when I was building my scout. I burned up the managers ear for about 6 months about wiring ideas and how to eliminate the on-road stuff. They seemed to be very good people to me and helped me with alot of good advise. Never charged me a dime or acted like I was taking up there time by asking questions. I always thought if I ever needed any wiring work done, I would call them up first.

2 good reviews. Works for me. I hate to randomly question a shop but again the person in question who took it there isn't the best decision maker. Thanks for the good reviews and reassurance!
