+1 on that!
I am often asked by people for a recommendation of "a good mechanic" for their cars or lawnmowers or whatever. I always disappoint them because I don't know any. They then say "but you know a lot about cars, why don't you know any good mechanics?" I am a survivor, I've had to fix my own things since I was a teenager. That got me some early jobs as a mechanic and then later a machinist. Now, I just fix my own things out of habit and cost concerns. I'm really out of touch with who's a good mechanic around here.
None of this is helpful I know. Sorry to say, but this forum is probably your best bet to get to the REAL cause of things. Too bad you can't send beer and hoagies over the internet.
