Honest mechanic

Can anyone recommend an honest mechanic?  Particularly one good with electrical issues.  I have an aging Toyota.  I am sick of taking it to the dealer.  The service technicians at Toyota work off commission, and it shows as they are always trying to up sell.

He charges a fair rate and doesn't rack up unnecessary time. I know he is working on several older toyotas right now.

They inspected a vehicle I was considering buying and waived the fee if I said I'd bring it in to have some of the work done.  I saw them fix an elderly California couple's tire and waive the fee telling them "they've had a hard enough day."  On another occasion I was advised that a rattle was a loose bracket and they could replace it for $200, rig it to stop rattling for ~$100, or that it wasn't needed for anything useful and they could just tear it off (I opted for 3).  They've always been fast, courteous, and willing to explain thing to me.

And no, I'm not related to the owners or have anything to do with the business other than being an extremely satisfied customer.

I just had a heater core replaced by Encinas Automotive at 47th(ish) & Peoria which involved having to remove the entire dash from my truck.  I felt they were very fair on the pricing and the work was done right the first time.

I have used Encinas and I always felt that they treated me very fairly, and have sent family and friends to them and they all said they were treated well and honestly there.

I'll second Lazar.
Always treated fairly, even once when it could've been very different.
Know their product (Honda/Acura, but anything foreign, maybe just Japanese).

They specialize in foreign cars.  I have used them for years and recommended them over and over with no regrets.
