I'm hoping someone's familiar with the Granite Falls, Washington area. I might be forced to take my car to a shop, in Marysville, or maybe Arlington. I'll have to have it towed so Seattle is out of the question. Does anyone know a reliable mechanic in the area? I've never relied on someone else to fix my cars, so I'm kind of paranoid, about it. If there's more to do than the timing belt, do to lack of a garage, I'll have to take it to a shop, where I'll be at their mercy.

I'd ask the local auto parts places for recommendations; Advance, Napa, and Auto Zone; never fails for me.  If you are on a budget tell them.

Thanks; I've been on a budget all of my life.
