My mechanic is gone from the small shop. He was good on things I did not have tools for and fair with the price for those ~5 minute jobs (esp on Tuesday mornings when he opened the store). The rare type of mechanic who could talk and work at the same time - the type of talk that if you asked a good question (and listened well) you learned useful stuff. Used to be an occasional source for vintage things to buy - saddles, derailleurs, etc. He kept the caps. A morning coffee, instead of beer was his favorite reward, one cream no sugar.
i don’t visit many bike shops. Not any more.
