I can recommend a very solid and reasonable place in Sosua. Discovered them accidentally after having been taken big time on my Infinity by some other local shops.
They are located on a tiny side street away from eyes if you turn left from Pedro Clisante just before Europa Hotel and go all the way down. It will be on your left side. Big shop.
Russian owner and Russian mechanics.
Their advantages:
1. Manager/chief mechanic Sergei for many years had his shop in Russian Far East that is almost Japan and is very good with Japanese cars.
2. Unlike NA mechanics they do not "replace" a part right away, but first try to "repair" it if it will be cheaper.
3. They have very good connections to NA suppliers of used parts and usually get them delivered within 7-10 days. Sometime difference between OEM new parts and used part (high quality ) is huge. For instance starter for my Infinity is $380 OEM and $70 used one with warranty.
So, if the customer wants to save and willing to go for a used one - they can do it.
4. The owner is willing to invest in equipment and technology to keep improving quality of work.
5. Trying to earn their spot and good reputation in the market currently they offer very low prices.
In my opinion they defenitely are worth checking at least.
Just in recent days I witnessed them fixing correctly Mitsubishi Galant (alternator problem, ), Honda Element ( rear suspension), Toyota Echo (cooling and A/C). And exhaust system/ brake job on my Infinity.
Very hard working and responsible people. I can recommend them whole heart.
