Either Adger or Kenneth. That's about your only two choices for machine work. I'm not sure what Kenneth still does, but Adger is always backed up beyond belief.

I've heard about Best Engines too. Don't know anything about them. Where are they located?

Edit: Nevermind. Looked them up. They're in Wake Village. I'll have to check them out.
