re: Mechanic recommendation in Mandeville/Covington area...?

Brannigan's in Madisonville has always been good to me. It's a small family owned place, but the old man and the sons have always been easy to work with. I think they're honest and not trying to sell you things you don't need.

I used Autoville on 22 a few times and liked them. Service was good and the people were friendly. Then, I took my car in for an oil change before a long trip and got a hard sell about a tire that, admittedly, was pretty old. I had to go to Toronto for a funeral, so I was nervous and ended up renting a car for the trip. That tire ended up lasting ~4 more years until the car was flooded in Isaac. It kind of made me think that Autoville overstated the imminent demise of that particular Michelin tire.
