That is awesome. The last time I got my truck worked on at the Greenbriar Shell the mechanic told me he was not "the best mechanic, but he was honest and would not do anything that did not need done". I appreciated his honesty and had no issues with the work he did. I would rather pay an average mechanic to do what needs to be done than pay a specialist to gouge me and do a bunch of shit I do not need done to justify his salary to his employer. Bring mechanics back to Greenbriar Shell!
