Looking for mechanic in CT/MA (USA)
 

I recently had an overheat situation with my 2011 Cooper S with 95k miles. No dash warning light at all! Long story short, we replaced the thermostat housing (which was leaking badly) and then the water pump. Now it looks like the head gasket is gone too and my local mechanic wants to throw in the towel. I think this is worth saving and I'd like to find a local mechanic to take on this project. I'm in the Springfield MA area and would love some suggestions on a trusted mechanic in the area.

Thanks!
