Am new in town from SoCal and am an experienced mechanic for classic Volvo and pre-2005 Toyota. I noticed many shops turn away clients with cars like these, due to minimal diagnostic tools available, and part scarcity. I would like to start potentially offering mobile mechanic services, if anyone has tips on how to promote that - which apps/sites are popular here? I noticed that many local shops here have extremely high rates - $140+ per hour was lowest of 3 when calling for quotes for a friend’s Yukon. The vehicle in photo was a friend’s 2001 Lexus that sat for years due to an insane quote that was likely misdiagnosed as faulty transmission. The shop didn’t even remove the plastic valve cover shield to see that an injector plug was disconnected and a vacuum connection broken. Car started and idled fine after that simple repair.

First ever experience at G.D. Ritzy’s and loved everything about it. I feel like it is underappreciated in a city with a lot of burger options - only one mention in a previous burger post. Is a true smash burger and comes out crispy! Art Deco interior is like a time machine, well-preserved and vintage. Ever table has hot sauce and “Cinci” sauce (cinnamon + vinegar) for chili. Double burger w cheese was $6.94 before tax. Check it out!
