Default Good Independent Mechanic in Chicagoland area?

As title says, who knows of a good independent mechanic in the Chicagoland area? Someone you trust, knowledgeable, good service, etc.

If you have any recommendations, please also describe your experience with them as well.

Thanks!

Brian

I don't know how far outside of Chicago you want to go, but this guy is located in Morris, IL. I've referred others to him since making the thread below and everyone has been happy with the work and thrilled with the price.
