Default looking for mechanic in GVRD

can someone recommend a good lexus/toyota mechanic in the van/bby area?

the mechanic i used to go to has since joined up with another shop and is now too busy, and the other i used as a backup is too far away (coq). my car is old and is out of warranty, and i can no longer afford the $120-130/hr the dealer wants straight time to fix all the problems my car now has

help?

One of my best friend that I have known since elementary school, he is an awesome mechanic. He works at an independent shop called JRS near Hastings and Commercial. Also their shop rates are very low. I trust him with my car all the time. Let me know your interested.

my guys:

Comptech Performance

they are TOTALLY reasonable & do a great job ... they do some racing as well so they know what they're talking about.

akira hooked up with an audio shop that's next door to where BOYZ AUDIO used to be... i can't remember the name offhand right now (too many meds... sorry).

coquitlam is too far for me, especially if i have to come in after work. it can take me almost an hour to get there from van. in rush hour traffic and i've been late too many times already.
