Default Brooks Mechanic Recommendation for Inspection

Hi Folks,
I'm looking at purchasing a used vehicle in Brooks and want to get an inspection done for piece of mind. Can I get some recommendations of some mechanic shops that have a keen eye in Brooks from you good folks on AO?

It is a 2007 Chevrolet Equinox AWD, any feedback on the Equinox is also appreciated. I've done some google research and head gaskets in 2005-2006 seem to be an issue. Also the heater/AC.

I will also contact to the local Chevy dealer to get a price for inspections.

Thanks

I can vouch for the head gaskets in 2006. Not sure when they fixed the problem or if they did. Was a good car till then.

Ended up booking an inspection for Friday afternoon at a place called Star Tech Automotive in Brooks. If anyone has feedback on this place or older Chevy Equinox's please chime in. Thanks
