need mechanic in Norfolk, VA fast

Hey,

car broke down in Norfolk, VA. The serpentine belt is shredded. It is a holiday weekend so I'll have to wait till Tuesday. Can anyone recommend a good, trustworthy mechanic in this area?

Thanks!!

Thanks to all who responded including the PM's! Once again, the members here really are supportive of each other. Since it is Labor Day, the repair will have to wait till Tues. Car has 155K miles and this is the 3rd time I have to replace a belt - however, this one is attributed to an A/C compressor that blew up. Not much fun being out of town with car problems.

Anyone good at estimating what a replacement A/C compressor, drier, belt + tax will cost? One place quoted $1350 using non-MB or Bosch compressor.

Enjoy your Labor Day!!!
