Good mechanics are hard to find.  Marlin is one of the best.  He is honest (just told me a noise I was worried about was a spring, no cost.  No repair.  Another mechanic told me CV axle).  And I can say this after relying on him for. ,   , a couple decades now?

He is busy, your repair requires an appointment.

Don't go there expecting service tomorrow,  go there expecting the best .

TL;DR Merlin's Mechanix, or their associates at Elite Auto Sales, tried to cover up an oil leak during a pre purchase inspection.
More detail:

I drove 4 hours to Elite Auto Sales, a nearby used car dealer, to purchase a 2010 Camaro SS on sale with cash in hand.

A few days prior I asked Elite Auto Sales to  compression test the motor. The day before I made the trip I received a call from Marlin's Mechanix, who Elite Auto Sales outsources their repair work to, and was told the motor was in good health.

Upon arrival I took the vehicle to an independent mechanic for a pre purchase inspection. The mechanic had me come out and take pictures of an oil leak from the oil cooler and the oil pan.

I returned to Elite Auto Sales with this information in hand. The owner insisted that Marlin's Mechanix take a look to confirm what my mechanic found.

I received a call from Elite Auto Sales saying that they could not find any oil and that there was no apparent issue. I was asked to drive to Marlin's Mechanix to see for myself.

When I arrived at Merlin's Mechanix, I took one glance and instantly realized they had cleaned the oil leak with break cleaner and the once oil covered areas were spotless. I pulled out my phone and showed them the attached pictures I took no more than 1 hour prior.

Neither Elite Auto Sales or Merlin's Mechanix will admit they wiped the vehicle down, yet somehow the car got cleaned in attempts to hide the bigger issues.

I walked away and refuse to do business with this dealer or their mechanic.

I don't know who to blame, but regardless if it was under Elite Auto Sales command or their "trusted" mechanic's own will  to hide it, I suggest you find a more honest company to deal with.

I drive older, paid-for cars.  One of the drawbacks of this is they need a lot of repair.  Marlin's Mechanix has worked me in even when they were busy, and their prices beat everyone else I've gone to.  They fixed an electrical problem no one else could figure out.  I highly recommend them.

Great place to work and a friendly environment to get you car worked on.

Marlin has worked on our cars for years always handing me a final bill that was cheaper than original estimate. And the result has always been great.
If you want to meet an honest crew that does honest work for a great price, stop and talk to the guys at Marlins.
