I would like to know how I can find a good reliable car mechanic in my area or within reasonable proximity. My zip code is 06831. I am close to White Plains, NY or Greenwich, CT. The car is a 2000 BMW. The horn doesn’t work, the brake warning light is on (even though the brakes have just been replaced) and the temp gauge reads -40 all the time. Thanks

Just got to the “Mechanics Files” right here at the Cartalk website. Plug in the pertinent location details and start making some phone calls.

Good Luck!
