Default atlanta import shops?

got a friend that needs a timing belt and water pump on a 03 civic replaced. wonder if anyone here knows of a reputable clean *cheap* shop that can knock it out easily.
they are in the N. Atlanta area, near 285/75.

figured i'd try.
thanks for any help!

The shop next door to mine works on imports, hes a nice guy and seems to do clean work, as for the cheap part, i cant say. I can say hes not some "fast and furious shop" with drifting posters and "NOS" bottles hanging up (which is all too common in the n atl area). Were north 75 off hwy 92 about 2 miles. pm me, ill get his # for you.

www.MainStreamPerformance.com - 678-567-9384

They built my 630whp Acura Integra. They can do a water belt and timing pump in no time and I believe they're having a maintenance special.

They're in Powder Springs, GA.
