Friendly staff, and honest shop

Now that Angus has wandered off into retirement, Oceanworks is still left in great hands with Chris and of course Natalie. Great place to get both Prius and Subaru serviced reliably. Always a difficult issue when business management changes hands, but here that seems seamlessly done.

This is NOT the Oceanworks that Angus Powelson built and managed for decades. The new owners appear to have retained the same staff (including Rich). I have been gong to Oceanworks since 1991. Angus was great at pointing out issues (he showed me a leak in the engine on my new Honda that needed to be repaired by the dealer). We had long discussions on the mechanics of cars (I am not a car person). The current owner is brusque and expresses no interest in his clients. I will be searching for a new mechanic.
