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.

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.
