Question Recommended Mechanics

Can anybody recommend a mechanic in the Columbus,OH area? I need to get my ball joints replaced soon. I'd rather not do it myself.

The ball joints a very easy to do - if you can replace a rotor, you should be able to take that a few steps further and swap out ball joints. I posted a detailed DIY with pics on how to change ball joints and tie rods. If not for the experience, do it for the 300-400 bucks you will save.
