Best Mechanic — Robert Zaharatos, Dennis Auto Service Center

Come for the auto repair and maintenance but stay for deep conversations about philosophy and a hefty collection of coffee table books. You'll experience honest, no-nonsense workmanship from mechanic Robert Zaharatos and his team in the bays out back and, while you're waiting, dig into the world-class library in the lobby. On any given day there might be a few silver-haired Greeks debating current events, commenting on the news and pining for the good old days, elements that only add to the ambience at this Galleria-area shop.

Proprietor Dennis Moustakis is often on hand, giving clients the opportunity to ask about any of his favorite subjects: the Olympics, JFK or how to solve the world's problems. And if you've run into a little trouble with the law, then Zaharatos is certified to install the Intoxalock system so that you can regain your license and get back on the road.
