Wolf, suggest a search on some of the forums. I swear it was a few years ago that their reputation was extensively discussed.

Fifty eight Yelp reviews since 2010. Forty-nine (84%) were 5 stars; fifty-two (90%) were four stars or better. Four (7%) were 1 star.
With a nine to one excellent to poor ratings ratio, this information strongly debunks the negative image the OP implies. |

I have been on this forum since 2006, and I have over 200 posts. You have been here since 2012 with only 12 posts. Over the years I've spent well over $10,000 at FlintWorks. Hence, I think this "strongly debunks" the positive image that you try to imply. And yes, I actually know what I'm talking about. You don't: Alden Flint = THIEF In any case, I don't really blame you for being this gullible, initially also I believed and trusted Alden, for example: http://babblers.org/showpost.php?p=63628&postcount=10 http://babblers.org/showpost.php?p=63874&postcount=1 ..etc, etc. -- peer (still looking for a good & trustworthy mechanic)

Actually, I know Alden well and have spent about $10K at Flintworks too. But unlike you, I let a sample of others speak about the shop's reputation.
