All,

My daughter moved to Bend this summer and they have two cars that need looking at.  Anyone know a good mechanic in Bend or Redmond?  One is a '98 Olds 88 and the other is a 2009 (or 10) Ford Focus.  Olds has a gas leak.  I think it's at the rear of the car.  Focus has a surging issue when in gear.

TIA,

Tom

Don't know about Bend. There is a good one in Madras but that's likely too far away for them.

Who?  Just moved to Madras a couple months ago and good info to know.

Jerry's. Just out of town on the south end of Madras. East side of the hwy. Tin roofed building by a line of yellow apts that look like it may have been a motel years ago.

Cool, thanks.

I took a pre-owned truck to Bend Auto and they were great with giving me a good breakdown on the vehicle. I think I found my mechanic here in Bend.

There is a little run down looking shop in Redmond called Oscar's.  It doesn't look like much and I was very reluctant to take my car there.  I did get over the fact that it looked a little shady, and once I talked to Oscar I thought I would try him out.  He ordered and replaced my Idle control Valve on my Civic for around $300.  That was parts and labor.  The other 3 shops that I talked to all quoted me $450 and up.  I have had no problem whatsoever since then and that was over a year ago.  He is located near Fred Meyers.
