I have been going to Culver Automotive since 2002, first with an old Honda Passport and now with a Subaru Outback. Dmitri has always taken good care of my cars and understands that I have a limited budget. He usually offers options, such as ""you can do A and B now, and wait to do C."" He has provided a loaner car at no cost, and has my car ready when promised. He's responsive by phone and does not talk down to me like other mechanics have in the past. If you want your car fixed for free, like some other commentaries seem to, go to Auto Zone and figure out how to do it yourself. If you want it fixed by a dependable mechanic, then go to Dmitri.
Pros: listens, works with my budget
Cons: a little pricey
