Honest mechanic in Raleigh?

Check engine light on my 2014 Honda. The dealer quoted me something wild. Anybody have a mechanic they trust who won't invent problems?

Creech Import Repair. They've done all the work on our Hondas and Toyotas for years. Very honest, they told me not to bother fixing something that wasn't worth it.

Precision Tune on Baileywick is solid for regular stuff like brakes and oil changes. Quick.

not speaking for the board

Meineke has been fine for me for tires and brakes, and they're open Saturdays.

Get the code read at an auto parts store first so you know what they're talking about.

first house, many mistakes

Took it to Creech this morning. They said it's an O2 sensor, not the transmission like the other shop claimed. Thanks y'all.
