I've had a great experience at M&R Auto Repair in Lodi - reasonable prices and they've taken on jobs that other places wouldn't even touch when I called around. I believe he specializes in German cars but considering those are always breaking down and complicated to work on, it means he's been great with our cars.

Jim Desbien's in East Rutherford is also worth calling. Nice guy and if he can't help you, he'll try to find someone who can. I haven't been to his shop though.
