hey everybody, I just found out about a really good mechanic in Brooklyn. It seems my ever-loving cousin bought his very sweet wife (just sucking up), a turbo 850. he found this mechanic, Mitchell Zelman 1018 39th street Brooklyn NY 1-178-854-8074 and is raving about him. he needed to have his timing belt done, and since he won't let me touch his car anymore, hey the fire went out dude, he researched and found this gentleman. Mitchell and Tony are supposed to be these guru types, as they were looking over his car, noticed that his axle was done for and that both front brake lines were cracked. They had the repairs done in like three hours, speaking of which-why did you need the whole day off you bum? (my cousin works for me at the restaurant) his pricing is seriously reasonable since he had been quoted 150 dollars more just for the timing belt, and he paid that amount for all this work. He, Mitchell, also has 2 Pinanfarinas, for those who don't know, it is the Fiat Spider that the designer bought from Fiat and continued to make. It is supposed to be seriously hot looking, the car not the mechanics. Anyway, call them if you need any work done since my cousin is too lazy to do it himself. -will you just join the forum dude I kow that the both of you are lurking around and reading the posts. also, get back to work.

i used mitchell based on various reviews that raved about him - and it almost cost me my life. Mitchell forgot to tighten the bolts after working on my front suspension and my front wheel nearly fell off while driving in the blue ridge mountains.

your experience might be good but in my opinion he is a total hack and i'd say use him at your own risk!

Hey man, I don't know the guy or anything. cousin likes him. Your experience is yours alone. And by the way, I don't know what part of Bklyn you're from, but from Canarsie where I am, it is a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG way to the Blue Ridge Mountains. You think you would have noticed the looseness before then?
