An honest mechanic North of Boston

Friends, just an update on a turbo situation I had...
My turbo seemed to be totally dead. I was concerned that it might cost a bundle to have fixed - I'd been hearing numbers like $1,000 if it was serious. Some of you, however, indicated that it might be as simple as a BPC valve, but I'm not at all mechanically inclined.
On a couple of recommendations, I tried a shop in Salem, MA called The Doctor's In.
Now this guy could have told me "Yup, you need a new Turbo. That'll be a Grand." But instead, he says "Hey, you're in luck. It's a $2 waste gate valve clip." I therefore consider that this guy saved me about about a thousand bucks, just by being honest, so I owe him the props.
The shop is a mess. Don't be put off when you see it. But I've heard many similar recommendations for him. And my experience is that an honest mechanic is as rare as a unicorn.
I have nothing to gain in making this recommendation, but hope you'll benefit by using his service.
