    Default I need a mechanic on the North side of Denver. :(

    I've got more broken vehicles than I have the time or knowledge to fix, and I need something fixed soon so my wife can get to work. Do we have a mechanic somewhat near me who I can take one of my beater cars to? I sent my wife off today in a car where the heat wasn't blowing. It almost over heated just me driving in a 3 mile loop. I have no idea how she made it to work and back. Not to mention I can't even feel my fingers.

    I've got a 2006 Ford Focus with the power steering out.
    The other car is a 1999 Chevy Cavalier that I just changed the clutch in. I don't know if the thermostat went out, or I didn't hook something back up correctly, but it's just too cold for me to be outside messing with it.

    While I'm waiting on recommendations for mechanics that will get me on the road, I'm going to look up the power steering system for the Ford. I figure after doing a FWD transmission solo, I ought to be able to handle power steering.

    We're down to a single vehicle, so it's got to be asap, fixed 100% and no messing around. My wife has already given me plenty of leash on this and I've not got her a decent running car.

    Is your garage heated, or some kind of heat available?

    Yeah, it's heated enough. It's usually about 58 degrees or higher.

    If you love your wife you'll buy her a decent, reliable vehicle.

    The eight year old car with the bad power steering pump? That's the best you can do for her?
