Took my 2002 Chevy Venture to Robert Tau thinking it had dying lifters; he knew immediately what the real problem was (leaking intake manifold gasket) and told me he does those regularly. I was in no rush so was able to leave it with him a few days; the work done was excellent as was the price. I do most of my own wrenching, but that motor is simply too difficult to work on (no room). In addition to the gasket, he replaced the plugs and wires (right side bank is inaccessible to normal human arms) and the thermostat (nice touch, another awkward job but easy when access is gained for the manifold gasket). A good and honest mechanic with fair prices......can't beat that. Highly recommended.
Pros: Again, excellent work, honest, great price.
Cons: 3 mile walk back to the house. (okay, that isn't a con. No cons.....really!)
