In a college town there has to be some reputable garages that service the locals and the college population. As around at school. Call the BBB and get a reommendation or two.
Try to avoid any of the "chain" store garages. Most of them pay minimum wages and consequently get people with equally minimal skills and/or motivation. You won't find many A Techs willing to work for Sears and Firestone wages.
At the very worst, find a heated garage you can rent and do it yourself.
