Default Can anyone reccommend a good Mechanic?

I am in Melbourne in the Knox area and I want a good Mechanic to work on my car, I am going to one of thoses comercial places and I just dont think I am getting what I paied for? I took it in telling them I think the muffler had a hole in it because the car had a loud hollow noise coming from the engine but underneath what did they think?, they replaced the muffler and the noise was still there, I asked to look at the muffler and there was nothing wrong with it so why did they replace it? there is so much more and no one seems to know about older cars anymore?? am I being stupid? am I ranting? Help me JC peoples!!

For you, i'd say the one at the end of the street i work in would be better location wise for you, but if you don't care about location, definantly my mechanic in FTG.
