Looking for a trustworthy mechanic, the car is a used Ford Escape SUV. Thanks for any recommendations.

I owned a Car Rental Company about 4 - 5 years ago and during then, every cars that I've bought, I would get my partner's father to inspect the cars first and his decision is as good as mine.

He is a familiar face for many second hand car dealers and what I like most about him is that he dared to tell the car dealers straight in the face if he found out that the car has been in an accident before; by the way, most car dealers came clean with the history of the cars upon seeing him

If you are interested, pm me for my number and I'll contact him for you.

Personally, all I have ever bought are used cars and the ONE MOST VITAL CHECK I would never go without is a proper COMPRESSION TEST on all cylinders.

The ford dealer will check it out for you at a low cost

B Quick as well as others also do this service

Most service shops will do this for you
