I have an odd problem...in my area, there are 6 LBS's within 10 miles of my house. The shop where I like the people the best (friendliest, most passionate about the sport, remembers me every time I visit the store, etc) unfortunately has the worst mechanic of all the shops in the area. And on the other end of the spectrum, the two best mechanics work in shops that I'm not particularly fond of the rest of the people (one store is ok but high-volume and makes me feel like a number. The other is just flat-out obnoxious). I'd love to support the first shop, but I'm reaching the point where I just don't have much faith in the quality of the work being done...

What would you do?
