Looking for mechanic in Seattle WA & Surrounding area for my 72 Blazer

Could anyone recommend a mechanic in the greater Seattle WA area to work on my 72 Blazer? Its all trivial stuff but unfortunately I have neither time nor a space to work on it at the moment.

1. it has been sitting about a year so it needs the basic fluids/fuel system/filters and a tune up first.

2. It was slowly overheating at idle in traffic. Worth noting that it has a really ****ty fan shroud, so open to a better one or that or electric fan conversion in addition to a general check on thermo/radiator/water pump

3. one of the door latches needs to be replaced and maybe the door re-aligned.

4. Much, much (,much) more if the first bit goes well. just want to get it on the road to start and build a relationship with a mechanic.

Open to shops and reputable independents as long as the work is honest and the rates are fair. Should be a slam dunk for anyone who knows what they are doing.

Thanks in advance.

Randy500 here on the forum does really good work and lives in Tacoma. He did an excellent job installing factory air in my Blazer. Highly recommended.

I’ve taken all my vehicles to Mathewsons Automotive in Renton for the last 29 years. They been around a long time and work on a ton of classic cars.
