Timing belt repair, a new world
Your first option is to choose a national chain, like Midas or Meineke, that does brake repair. Major chains generally have good mechanics on staff, so although you may not get the very best service the area has to offer, choosing a chain is a way to avoid the worst service. Because chains space their branches to cover the area, you are likely to be within a short drive or tow of a branch if you need more repairs, and the warranty on any repairs the chain does will allow you to get free followup repairs at any branch in the country. Also, because major chains usually have large, well stocked shops with plenty of mechanics, you may get your car back in less time than it would have taken a smaller shop. The tradeoff is higher prices.
