Hey Tom,
Good luck with the garage! I wish there were someone like you in my town where I could take my car for those things I can't do myself. I had to take the Evo in this morning to have a nail pulled from a tire and have the tire patched. Seems like there's no shop where I can trust the mech. I have to make sure they jack the car at a reasonable point. I have make sure they don't scratch up the rim. I have to make sure they balance the wheel to high spec. I have to make sure they torque the lug nuts to 80 ft-lbs rather than whatever their impact wrench is set to. I got two out of four this morning. They didn't balance the wheel very well, and they torqued the lug nuts to 120 ft-lbs when I walked into the office to pay the repair charge.
