Since I wrote that, I've been back many times. Jonah at Fix has always been fair and inspired my confidence. I now live in Manchester but I still drive back to Keene for any serious work on my car because it's just so hard to find a good mechanic who is also trustworthy.
I heard good things about this place from a friend. He was extremely busy, I'm guessing because word gets around that he's a good mechanic and you can trust him, but he squeezed me in for a quick job and resolved my problem and charged a very reasonable rate. I've gone to a dealer shop since then and regretted it. They were not so straight-forward with me. Next time I will go to Fix instead, even if it means I have to wait.
On the surface Jonah will seem like an honest mechanic and explain each part of the repair until you realize he is over charging you for basic repairs ($500 for a gas filler neck, itemized and up charged each part) when my Subaru was overheating, before misdiagnosing busted head gaskets on my next visit. I bought a new car before bringing it to a legitimate mechanic.
Great mechanic!

Jonah is exceptionally honest conscientious and competent. He works mostly on older cars. He cares about his customers - both about their safety and about their needing to be frugal. His shop is in an old factory building with 4 or 5 bays. Sometimes he works alone, sometimes with an assistant. I moved to the area about 30 months ago, and he is the mechanic all my friends recommended. I have never heard anyone complain about work he did.
