Need a good honda mechanic

My car has been making a really annoying noise when I go over a bump. It seems like its coming from the passenger rear tire well somewhere. I cleared the back and trunk so I know its not something in the car. Don't really know how to explain the sound. Anyways, I need a shop that can find the source and get rid of it if possible, I'm thinking the shocks are lose or something when installed. Used to go to some guy near home but he messes everything he fixes.

Do Honda charge to find the source of the sound?

He has a nice bumpy road out back of his shop that is perfect for finding noises. Thursday I go in for my Timing Belt & water pump service.

Johns a good guy and after you talk to him once you will be convinced hes honest. when your cars done you'll be sure of it.

Hes at Highway 427 and highway 7, I live at finch and yonge and still travel to see him because hes the only one I trust with my car

and yes Honda will charge you a diagnostics fee, John will test drive your car and tell you the problems free

John's honestly one of the nicest people I know in general. Tommorow morning im going in for that timing belt service. Did he know who adam was?

John will take care of you, he charges very resonable prices. My dad trusts him and hes one of those old traditional european people who dont trust anybody.

Thanks for dropping by John's, hes a great mechanic!

I mentioned you and he claims to know who you are, even talked about doing the same work for your dad. I haven't gotten it done from him yet because of a busy exam time. Need to wait til the break. How much is the timing belt service? I'm at 120km so I'm getting there soon. BTW, are they negotiable in prices?

u dont really need to do timing belt until 160k or so.

that is when honda reccomends doing it, nothing will happen before that, but in the case someting does, it is fully covered by honda.
