Eluded

hey guys, i need a cheap but good (such a thing?) mechanic in the orange, ca area, i need an alternator changed on the Civic along with a few other minor items.

I am from northern California (don't hold that against me) and don't know of any mechanics in the area. I know a lot of good guys in Nor Cal that can help but unfortunately the car is broken and not able to move without the alternator.

Any advice greatly appreciated

Not in orange but I know this guy named mike who has a small shop in Costa Mesa that works on a lot of different cars and is very trustworthy and honest when it comes to costumers! My family has been going to his shop for over 10 years! He's got amazing reviews on yelp and has worked on my dads civic he had a while ago. Here's his yelp link with his info!

A little far from Orange, but I've had a great experience with Richard Michelangelo at Michelangelo Motorwerks in Lake Forest. He used to work on my E38 and I continued using him for work on my other cars until I moved up to LA.
