literally the nicest people and will always give you a good and fair estimate!
In the end this was a very good experience. I brought my Outback in for brake work and asked if they could paint piece of body moulding as well. This was one case where communication could have been better--originally I was told no need to leave the car, but when they called back they said the color didn't match because I hadn't left the car. Upon installation, another piece with some existing damage broke and I brought the car back once the replacement part came in. Again, communication was iffy--I never got the promised calls to update me on the status, and had to be proactive to know when to come back. But in the end they fixed everything and it looks beautiful, and they gave me a really good deal for my trouble. So all in all very positive experience. Shouts out to Omar and Carl for being very helpful and even giving me some great local recommendations since I'm from out of town!
Great work
Omar is an honest man, a man of faith who won't trick you into giving him your business once only to gouge you each visit thereafter. For the first time in my life I think I found a sincere mechanic who cares about quality and actually guarantees the work they do. As Paul said "No one customer will make us rich". Although I probably need more work, the engine light is still on and it's only been 3 days since I got my car back, those are days I was able to legally and safely make it to work work and back for a great price. As I said, Omar is a man of faith so I'm willing to put my faith and trust in him, his company, Mohammad and Paul. I definitely recommend them, they're nice guys with good values and above all they're honest. They will do only what needs to be done. I've never left a good review for any mechanic because until now I've never had a reason to, but my gut and experience tells me they're worth recommending and that is exactly what I'm doing and will hopefully do for years to come. Thanks, Omar, Paul and everyone else at Auto Tecx
I've been coming here for years with multiple cars. The owners are absolutely amazing. They do great work, offer very honest pricing and make for a great experience. I highly recommend them.
This is about attitude not work done. Connected to the worthless AutoTec-X on Touhy. Sent very accommodating rep to give repair estimate on body work to nearby kitty corner located auto service facility. The gentleman came more than once while I was waiting and I overheard his very patient very reasonable explanation of the factors involved to more than one party in the same courteous thorough manner. His name was Paul. I also reviewed areas on my car outside, pointed out all defects and needed adjustments. He was extremely attentive. Very personable, easy to talk with, did not make me feel he was too busy to listen. Gave me estimates with and without insurance. Gave me his mobile number to contact him in the future when I was ready. TIP: Ask how much *with no insurance and * full payment in cash. All included reasonable time frames. At that time I did not believe loaner cars were available. Guaranteed he would stand by the estimates as the final price. Did hear one person who wanted more work and was satisfied with that which was completed. At the time I did not proceed with the auto body work - only due to my dissatisfaction with the other facility. ***Please note this was well before the relocation to 7890 N. Lincoln Ave Skokie IL 60077 "due to unforeseen circumstances."
These guys are incredible, they are friendly and very professional, their prices are great! For more than ten years I follow them wherever they locate, never will use other mechanics, I trust them completely!
Clean facility. Helpful and polite staff. My car was repaired in timely fashion. No rip offs like other mechanic shops. They repaired exactly what was needed. The price was really reasonable and on point. The car never had the same problem. They topped up all the fluids free of charge and my car was ready for winter . Thank you guys.
It has moved to Clark.
I own a shop my self and I just want to say that this guys are good , knowledgeable , honest and great mechanics
This place is great and their prices are fair. Paul is the man to talk to if you need the job done.
I recently had my car fixed at this place. In the many years I have dealt with mechanics, never have I come across a shop that has been more professional and honest. The staff is very courteous and they provide timely updates and very quick turnaround. Would highly recommend.
great experienced staff
The guys are very good and knowledgeable, charge reasonable
The quickest turn around I've experience in a garage. Jimmy was both knowledgeable and friendly! Thank you for the great service Touhy Auto Tecx!
Brought my car in for a n oil change, reasonable price and fast service! Will be returning for all maintenance.
Their prices are great, and the workers are very polite. Also they get the job done quick, so you are basically in and out.
My son recommended me to visit the service . I Have a 2015 Acura MDX and went there for an A1 service . Technicians and the management are very friendly and polite . They have certification and maintaining your new car here does not void my factory guarantees. I will not take my car to an Acura service again as they dont let me watch my car while on repair . Here you can . Very nice fast and clean job done in minutes . Thank you and see you soon again .
I came for an oil change and brake pads and my experience was amazing. The service was very quick, and the staff was extremely friendly. Great place I would recommend it for anyone who needs a repair.
Never gave up on my Passet till it was fixed
Mohammed was very professional throughout the process of getting my car up and running. One thing I'd like to highlight is that unlike other auto repair shops they charge you reasonable prices that are fair to both parties which is a sign of an ethical business. I strongly recommend giving them a try.
I had the most amazing experience. I had another mechanic look at my old girl and tell me it's a mess and he won't touch it. As you can imagine my weekend was interesting. Then I decided Monday to see if I could find someone to assist me with getting it up and running safely. I called Mohammed on Monday and he agreed to meet me before the shop opened on Tuesday and take me to work. The last mechanic told me he didn't know when he would get the parts never returned my call and Mohammed said she could be ready same dey and it was! The conveyance rides so much more smooth and I got a full mechanics report on everything she needs and it is affordable! I am so impressed and recommended that my girlfriend go in today. Great customer service very respectable and very honest people. I think my automobile has found its redeemer. Thank you Mohammed and Bahsett you are both wonderful people and I look forward to your service in the future. Peace to you and your families!
They really do the best job! Best of luck Auto Tecx
Nice people...
Great guys what I loved is that they actually SHOW you whats wrong. Had car serviced twice and will be going back
Honest mechanic
These guys are first rate. Honest and great customer service. They do the job well and I've never had a single complaint.
Good work, reasonable prices, 'nuff said.
I called AutoTecx after researching on mechanics in the area. I found great reviews from different clients. I went to other mechanic first, and decided to go for a second opinion. It saved me money, and my car feels like new (Its a 2008) model. Clean facilities, office has a tv, water & coffee. Even though today cups t were not available :-( Mohammed customer service is A+, polite, respectful, professional, and have a top computerized system. I highly recommend AutoTecx.
One honest auto repair shop. Mohammad was very helpful in getting the car fixed. Outstanding service overall
I took my car in for a repair that I thought was going to takes days to repair & I recieved my car fixed within 6 hours!!! Great quality work for a great affordable price! I would recommed this shop to anyone
Friendly and professional. I brought my old, rusty car in to diagnose a loud noise from the rear. Instead of trying to run my bill up with all of the things i could have fixed, they just fixed the issue i brought it in for and and treated me very well.
People on this mechanic shop are really polite. They try to work together to do a great job, and finish as fast as possible because they understand we need our vehicles to do our dairy works.
Mohammad and his team are very prompt and professional....I am very skeptical of taking my car to any shop! As I do most of the work myself on my car I feel no one can do better for me than myself!.....but I found myself in a position where I could not care for my car and handle business at the same time....they were straight to the point for what I needed....they came up with a price that I was not happy with....Mohammad had no issues with going above and beyond to find the part that I needed for a better price! Mohammed turned my hunt for parts and a tow driver Into a one stop shop! The prices set in his shop are fair for ASE certified technicians....my car runs great! And they kept me clean too with a free car wash!..(even though I purchased extras at the car wash for support). I recommend this shop to anyone! And the car wash is just as thorough! I'd rate this place 10 stars if I could!
Good service
Hi there, I've been a customer since 2010 as always so professional and willing to fully explain what really "needs" to be done now.. and what can wait for a future visit. They are always willing to show me, via computer photos of my car, where there are concerns. I am extremely satisfied with the high quality of customer service and time efficiency demonstrated by the workers here! Thank you very much! Will definitely be referring people here.
Hands down the best honest experience I've had in an auto repair shop. I woke up on a cold morning and my car didn't work at all. I called up Auto Tecx and Muhammad drove over in 10 minutes, jumped my car, and took it back to the shop for $20. When I got there, they did a full expectation on the car and found other things (that I have been neglecting to be honest) wrong with the car. They replaced my headlight bulbs ($27), air filter ($19), cabin air filter ($29), and battery ($109) before the afternoon. You also get a full report with pictures and everything. Honestly, I hate dealing with car issues but Muhammad made my day; Super personable guy and is just there to help you and not rip you off. Definitely coming back. Thanks Muhammad and Auto Tecx!
These mechanics can be trusted
These guys are friendly and honest and charge a fair price.
Used these guys twice and I couldn't be happier both times. Yes, car repairs can be pricey. These guys won't take you for a ride, pull one over on you or try to screw you over. They have been very helpful, patient and get the work done well. So nice to have a positive mechanic experience for once!
Great service
Had an engine rattle in my car. These guys were professional, clean, friendly, knowledgeable, and fair. They told me what to fix and what isn't critical. There was an issue w the engine mount. I got my car worked on right away and didn't wait long. The rattle is gone and my drive is smooth again. I'd definitely go back because they've gained my trust.
I've been going since the other location. Great guys won't take my car anywhere else.
Honest and very reasonable with great customer service.
These guys are very kind and ready to help and explain problems in detail! Great experience!
I have taken 3 different vehicles here and have received nothing but top notch, fast service. Would absolutely recommend Auto Tecx to anyone in the city.
Took my car here for service and they are by far one of the best values in the Chicago land area. There were no random things that came up and I didn't feel that uncomfortable feeling you get at most mechanics. These guys were very knowledgeable, professional, kind, and helpful. Definitely bringing all our cars here from now on. Cheers guys keep up the good work!
Professional. Friendly. Extremely helpful when I needed to pass my emissions test. I wish I found them earlier. I'm telling everybody about how great they are. HIGHLY recommended.
Great Service! The owners were very friendly and went out of their way to meet my needs for a cheap price. They also have a nice, clean waiting area with free coffee. I will definitely be going back for any car problems. Highly recommend Auto Tecx.
Absolutely the best mechanics I've ever been to. I've been looking for an honest, reasonably-priced mechanic in the area for years, and my only regret is not discovering these guys years ago. Yesterday, the front passenger door was not able to open properly. It looked like a car must have dented my fender, which was causing this issue. I took it to AutoTecx around 9 am this morning, and Mohammad fixed the issue within 5 minutes! Other mechanics would have charged me $80 for this simple fix, but Mohammad didn't. Awesome guy! Highly recommended.
Hands down the most honest, reliable, talented and knowledgeable auto mechanics that I have ever done business with. From the first time I brought my car to them, many years ago, to the last time they fixed it, every single time I bring my car in, they surprise me in some positive way. Either with their honesty, their technical prowess, or by giving me some great info over the phone that fixes the issue without even seeing the car. What auto mechanics do that anymore?!?! Whether you are a brand new customer, or have known them for years, they will treat you the same way they treat every customer that walks in the door...with honesty, respect and a passion to help you until you are completely satisfied. I will NEVER, EVER, EVER, go anywhere else, and neither should you.
The best mechanics by far I have ever been to. Excellent prices. Can't beat it. Most honest and hardworking mechanics I've ever been to. Quick fast and dependable.
I've known these technicians for many years. They are honest, reliable and reasonable. They went to bat for me when my warranty company was refusing to cover a clutch. This would have not benefitted them at all-- but me greatly. They knew that and helped. Good people. Good service. Worth the trek up north.
I must say they are very honest and very reasonable... they have earned my trust
These guys are pure awesome! They are insanely knowledgeable, super friendly, and above all TRUSTWORTHY. They go above and beyond what one would expect from a mechanic. I've been going to them for some time because of owning a crappy car and they've always been upfront about which repairs are necessary and which repairs are recommended (with good reason) so I can decide how much I can put into repairs at one time. Good people!
Getting my 2006 Honda CRV repaired
My experience at this shop exceeded my expectations employees were excellent work done on my vehicle was excellent greeting was excellent satisfaction was excellent with that to say my vehicle just purrs it's running as if it was a brand new car bought off the floor !!!!👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Reliable and they have agreat attitude
I've been going to Autotecx for many years. Too many to count haha! They're very professional and don't try to scam you or cut corners on the good work they do. Always polite, helpful, and do their best to take care of you and your car. I highly recommend them! Abdul Hadi
Positive and Honest Experience
These guys have always been straight with us. I'm glad we got the recommendation from friends of ours, it's one of the best heads up you can get. Thanks!
My go-to mechanics
It's hard to find a mechanic you can trust but I trust these guys. Always nice, sympathetic and never condescending. If they can find a shortcut to save me time or money, they do. Most importantly they don't try to fix things that aren't broke.
Extremely satisfied with the service. A sure place to get your car fixed!
These guys are incredible, they are friendly and very professional, their prices are great! For more than ten years I follow them wherever they locate, never will use other mechanics, I trust them completely!
Exceptional work
Not only was the work done professionally, but the customer service was superb. Thanks for taking such good care of my ride!
Great Work
I've been coming here for a few years and I always get great service and repairs for my 13 year old car which is why I still have it.
Great Auto Service
professional, friendly, competitive pricing and most importantly, quick turnaround on service
Best place to get your car fixed
As always both the service and price were impeccable. I cannot and will not go to another mechanic if I do not have too. Mohammed and his guy are fast, reliable and they always do a good job. I have no complaints and nothing but accolades for Auto TecX. I will always bring my auto care needs to this shop and I highly recommend anyone else needing service do the same.
Quality and Professional
Paul his crew were able to help me out with replacing an AC blower motor for a fair price. They were all very courteous and prompt about the repair cost and time. I will definitely be visiting this shop on the future for all of my car repair and needs. 10/10
High quality service, professional
I recently had my car fixed at this place. In the many years I have dealt with mechanics, never have I come across a shop that has been more professional and honest. The staff is very courteous and they provide timely updates and very quick turnaround. Would highly recommend.
Honest Quality Work
I trust Auto Tecx because I have come time and time again and they always fix my car and tell me what I need to work on next!
Amazing service and customer care
Professional, honest, and highly skilled service. I'm extremely satisfied with my entire visit from making the appointment to have my car looked at - all the way to picking up my car. They even repaired and had my car ready for pick up the same day. I will definitely return!
Excellent and friendly service!
Really fantastic! It's so nice to be able to take your car to a place that you can trust. All of the technicians are excellent, thorough, HONEST, and highly skilled. I recently had a problem with emissions testing that was a computer glitch, and Basit went above and beyond to fix the problem so that I wouldn't have to take my car to the dealer for a high priced replacement that wasn't necessary. He saved me a LOT of money. They explain the problems thoroughly and give you options to consider. They also state a prioritized list of things that your car needs so you can plan ahead. Can't say enough great things about them! So grateful for their expertise and they are also just really nice guys!
High quality, professional service.
Over so many years I learned to trust the professional service at Auto Tecx, always provided quality repairs for all my cars.
Professional And Excellent Services
Went in to get my oil changed and as usual, busy morning but they got my car in and oil change fast, I will highly recommend Auto Tecx to Everyone I Know, very clean and friendly environment.
I am very satisfied with the service I received. I wil definitely recommend. I will be going there for my auto care.

Fast, friendly, and high quality service.
Great guys, and great service at a very fair price. I needed a front diferencial replaced and they did the job very fast and very well done. I would definitely use their services again in the future.
My 2012 Jeep Patriot
Sadiq and Mohammed keep my 2012 Jeep running great! So glad to know that everything is OK! Now send me some coupons for my next Oil Change!
Best service I have ever had!
This shop, hands down, has the best customer service and quality work that I have ever found. I don't usually post reviews, however, this place deserves the highest praise possible. I had numerous issues with a car that I purchased from out of state and the shop owner took a great deal of time to help me with the out of state seller. He went above and beyond what I expected. The mechanical work is excellent. If you are looking for an honest shop, look no further.
the price is right and truthful and honest especially the owner his very humble and im appreciated how to assist my problem in my car.
highly recommended in my family and friends
These guys know what they are doing.
Good service & Fair Prices
Was able to drop off car before closing for them to work on in the morning, and had everything completed by the time I got back from work the next day. Prices are fair, and very good for the Chicago area. Quality of work is high, and the staff are both very professional and friendly. I've taken my car here a few times over the last 2 years for various maintenance, and will continue to work with them again.
Excellent Service
Great advice and Mohammad was very helpful explaining everything that needed to be repaired and why.
Excellent service
Accommodated me even when they were swamped because my car really needed the brakes. Great service. Thank you.
My brakes were grinding badly. Dropped off the car in the morning and the car was done a little after lunch. Thanks for great brakes!!
Awesomeness at its best!
Started using autotex through my brother in law and autotex has been a blessing, I drive all way from Schamburg to Chicago. Friendly environment and they get the job done, 2 thumbs up!
Fast, friendly, fixed!
Brought in an older Accord with a climate system on the fritz and potential emissions issues. Mohammed and team were very efficient at evaluating the problem, identifying a solution, and acquiring the parts to get me back on the road quickly. Mohammed kept me up-to-date with progress and any change in charges, and I found the price for the parts & work to be fair and comparable.
AWESOME I HAVE BEEN WITH THEM SINCE LIKE 2010 AND THEY DOES GREAT WORK PRICES AND JUST A FREINDLY and they gets da job done thank you all .😃
Organized, Clear expectations,
I called AutoTecx after researching on mechanics in the area. I found great reviews from different clients. I went to other mechanic first, and decided to go for a second opinion.

Even though today cups t were not available :-( Mohammed customer service is A+, polite, respectful, professional, and have a top computerized system. I highly recommend AutoTecx.
Professional, honest & high quality service
They are reliable and professional , I am visiting them from last one year and always find it honest and best service.
Highly recomended
This place does quality work at a fair price, plus they are nice too.
Easy, timely and reasonable
I left my Murano for the afternoon, requesting an oil change and to have the brakes looked at. I loved receiving an emailed report with photos so i could see what he was talking about as Mohammad went over it with me on the phone before beginning repairs. The inspection seemed thorough, the prices fair and it was finished before the end of the day as promised. I also appreciate the warranty on service provided. Thank you! I'll be back.
The way auto service should be.
2008 Honda Element inspected, given recommendations, some that needed immediate attention others that could wait. No pressure just service the way it should be. Price was reasonable for the work done. Thanks guys.
Done quickly and professionally!!
Great service, Great quality!
I took my car in for a repair that I thought was going to takes days to repair & I recieved my car fixed within 6 hours!!! Great quality work for a great affordable price! I would recommed this shop to anyone
Quick and painless
Muhammad was very friendly on the phone and got my car services quickly and efficiently. He was also kind enough to throw in a free car wash, which my Chevy desperately needed. Thanks!
Hi there, I've been a customer since 2010 as always so professional and willing to fully explain what really "needs" to be done now.. and what can wait for a future visit.

Very friendly. Quality service.
The crew at Auto Tecx gave my two vehicle two diagnostic tests free of charge and worked with me on getting it back for repairs. I have a few other issues that need addressed, and I plan to return due to their service. Thank you Auto Tecx!
Patience -Honesty -Superior
Woke to discover my Recently Purchased 09 Tiguan was dead. Seeing I wasn't quite ready for a funeral , My son , who discovered AutoTecx for his Own vehicle upkeep , recommended Autotecx for my dilemma. After jumping my car to get her moving , we ventured into AutoTecx where we were greeted with incredible empathy and immediate assistance. I had to leave my vehicle with them for a time seeing that VW parts are not readily available. Long story short , my baby is running great after a fan system replacement and battery recharge. These men who run the establishment along with their knowledgeable service team are magnificent. AutoTecx is fair, reliable and beyond trusting for your car needs no matter if it's maintenance or an emergency. Highly reliable , incredibly personable and just over all professional in every sense of the word. If you have needs , don't think On it ...just GO!! You are safe here.
Replacement of Front & Rear Brakes
Mohammad was a great Service Advisor. AutoTecx gave me a great deal on Brake Service and advised of repairs that would need attention in the future.
complete honesty
I brought my ford ranger 1999 expecting to hear than my transmission was toast,turned out it was the transmission shift cable was worn out,it was fixed for a very reasonable cost,they could have taken me to the cleaners but honesty is obviously their policy,how refreshing, I have a new mechanic shop.
Theyre so fair and great at what they do!
I have been a loyal customer for over 4 years and i wouldnt look anywhere else for all things related. They take great care of me and are very fair with their prices.

All around great service!
I brought my boyfriend's car here after hearing a terrible noise with the brakes. I know nothing about cars, but these guys made sure I understood what they were talking about. From the moment I called to make an appointment to the moment I left with the car fixed, everyone at the shop was super nice. They also discovered several other serious issues wrong with the car, but worked within my budget to fix the essentials. They did not try to swindle me into paying more, which surprised me, as I hear this is what mechanics are known for. Last but not least, they gave me a free car wash because it was clear my boyfriend's car was a bird poop magnet! They were extremely generous and helpful. Overall, I would recommend everyone in the area to take their car here.
Exeptional customer service
A trial will surely convince you
Very friendly and informative
I went to pick up a Uhaul and decided to get an oil change while I had the rental. They discovered a few problems that I've known about, and the prices are super reasonable. I'm happy to have found a local auto shop near my house.

Professional, Thorough
I had a very good experience at Auto Tecx. Umair (spelling?) was personable and professional. They took my car in as a walk in, ordered the parts I needed right away and had my car ready when they said they would.
World Class customer service
I was taken care of when I arrived at this shop and am extremely satisfied with the high quality of customer service and time efficiency demonstrated by the workers here! Thank you very much! Will definitely be referring people here.
Great customer service!
Every single person I encountered was kind and helpful from the beginning to end. They did a complimentary assessment of my car but pushed me to buy nothing! Umar even took my car for a test drive because I expressed concerns of a sound the car was making. I couldn't be happier with this company and I'll never go anywhere else!
Loyal Cusomer Here!
Always 100% satisfied with service, explanations, and quality of job.
great service
It was my first time here. I'll definitely go back. They all were very nice and seemed very honest. Reasonable prices too.
Very professional and highly competent. Great pricing!
Basit and another gentleman (sorry, forgot his name) is always so professional and willing to fully explain what really "needs" to be done now.. and what can wait for a future visit. They are always willing to show me, via computer photos of my car, where there are concerns. I needed new tires and they called to have them quickly delivered and installed. I never feel like I'm being taken advantage of when I come here. They all seem very honest and concerned with the needs of their customers. Kudos to all of you!
Super Professional and A+++ Customer Service!!
Mohammed and his staff are EXCELLENT! We first started going here a year ago when my husband and I lived in West Rogers Park. We have always received honest work for a great rate. There are no games played here. They love what they do and they are awesome at it. My husband and I have since moved north to Glenview and we will always be making the trip down to visit Mohammed anytime our vehicles need any work.
It was awesome good timimg Fast service u guys is awesome Thank you for everything

We do not have an attic, but we have a basement. In our basement are the remnants of our parents and grandparents lives packed away in boxes. It is something we vowed to get to some day. That time is coming near, I will not throw away anything useful that can be used by others. About one mile from my home is a St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store where I donate many usable items and clothing.
Yesterday we were moving some of the boxes and I came across a photo album that was from my husbands parents. Some of them I had never seen before and did not know they existed, but Chuck remembered.
I found a few older pictures and plenty from the fifties and sixties of his childhood. A lot of them were scorched from the fire that happened in 1963. I will make a post on that later, now that I have the pictures.
Of course, not one of the photos are labeled, but we will collaborate and write the names on the back of them, in pencil, so down the line people will know who they are.

A reprise, with stuff published before, but updated for recent events, e.g. NATO vote at SNP conference.
FACTS – NATO and TRIDENT
1. The entire UK nuclear deterrent - the Trident weapons system, and the nuclear submarines that carry it, together with nuclear-powered submarines that don't carry it – is based in Scotland.
2. The permission of the Scottish people was never sought for this, but it is supported by all three major London-based unionist parties – Labour, Tory and LibDems. It is opposed by the SNP, the Greens and by the Scottish socialist parties.
3. The SNP has a non-nuclear policy, and is opposed to nuclear weapons. It was also opposed to an independent Scotland being a member of the NATO alliance because NATO is committed to the possession and use of nuclear weapons, and committed to an independent Scotland seeking membership of Partnership for Peace (PfP), a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) program aimed at creating trust between NATO and other states in Europe and the former Soviet Union; 22 states are members.
PfP members in the EU include Austria, Finland, Ireland, Malta and Sweden. Other members are Switzerland, Russia, former Eastern bloc countries and former Yugoslavian states.
This policy was changed at Conference last year by a close-run vote after passionate debate. Two members of the Party resigned after the vote.
THE SNP and NATO: SOME FACTS - and MY PERSPECTIVE
Comparison of Scotland with Norway – a non-nuclear policy country in NATO (as are another 24) are repeatedly made by the SNP and by proponents of nuclear deterrence, but such comparisons are flawed and invalid because Scotland's situation is unique within NATO, and infinitely more complex in its ramifications. (see blogs passim and further analysis in this blog.)
Step ONE: Deactivation of Trident weapons system – remove triggers and keys, remove certain components of missiles, and take submarines off patrol. Timescale: a few days.
Step TWO: Remove all weapons and store at Coulport. Timescale: approximately eight weeks.
Step THREE: Physically remove weapons from Scotland. Timescale: two years approximately.
Step FOUR: Dismantle weapons at Burghfield Timescale: four years approximately.
N.B. A key international principle of disarmament is the principle of irreversibility. (For example, steps one and two are relatively easily reversible in a short timescale unless special actions are taken to ensure irreversibility.)
These are the necessary immediate steps – the full decommissioning and cleanup of the nuclear facilities of the base are complex, as is the question of the continued use of the base by submarines, both the former missile carrying subs and the nuclear-powered non-missile carrying subs.
SNP, NUCLEAR WEAPONS and NATO ANALYSIS
Most of what I wanted to say – and was able to say, given that I am neither an academic nor a military expert nor a politicians – I have said in these blogs and, vitally, in my replies to comments (which were predominantly in favour of the SNP's position on NATO). These blogs were mainly in the second half of 2012 – I have blogged many times at earlier dates on NATO.
Alex Salmond, the SNP and NATO - a Faustian bargain?

Scotland's NATO membership – a deeply flawed concept and a retreat from principle
Truth and transparency in politics – unrealisable ideals or practical necessities?
Sitting on de fence on defence
A nuclear letter over three years ago …
The Scottish Government's policy on NATO membership of the Robertson/MacNeil motion was carried and the stated policy of the SNP is now as follow -
"Scotland will inherit its international treaty obligations including those with the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and will remain a member, subject to agreement on withdrawal of Trident from Scotland."
"With agreement on the withdrawal of Trident and retaining the important role of the UN, Scotland can continue working with neighbours and allies within NATO."
" … An SNP Government will maintain NATO membership subject to an agreement that Scotland will not host nuclear weapons and NATO continues to respect the right of members only to take part in UN-sanctioned operations. In the absence of such an agreement, Scotland will work with NATO as a member of the Partnership for Peace programme, like Sweden, Finland, Austria and Ireland. …"
Let's take the first part of that -
Negotiation on the removal of Trident will take place with the UK Government after YES vote in 2014 and before independence day – not with NATO.
So membership of NATO is contingent on two things – prior agreement with UK negotiators on "the withdrawal of Trident" and then a subsequent agreement with NATO "that Scotland will not host nuclear weapons and NATO continues to respect the right of members only to take part in UN-sanctioned operations".
In other words, after agreement with the UK negotiators on the 'withdrawal' of Trident, the SNP Government will graciously 'maintain NATO membership', subject to – etc.
As a negotiating position this is on the face of it, naive. It raised horse laughs from the Wee Lord of Islay, George Robertson and the SNP's political enemies last year, despite the fact that their defence thinking is at least as naive, and compounded by the MOD's monumental incompetence and corruption, allied to NATO's deep confusion and uncertainty about their role in the modern world.
In point of fact, any defence-related negotiation on the deterrent will take place with one party on the other side of the table - the UK – but two heavyweights in the backroom, the United States Defence Department and NATO, and no deal will be done that does not have the broad consent of this nuclear trio. The prospect of Philip Hammond, David Cameron and William Hague, three politicians of limited political experience and worse judgement, trying to deal with the hard-eyed men of America and NATO is not one to inspire confidence, especially since a UK general election will take place in May 2015, only six to eight months after the Scottish referendum.
In effect, Scotland's hopes of getting rid of Trident are inextricably linked to NATO and the United States, and therefore the second part – membership of NATO, etc. must of necessity be a part of the negotiations with the UK. What the SNP objective means in effect is
"We will attempt to destroy NATO UK nuclear capacity, remove its Northern European aircraft carrier, Scotland, then tell NATO the conditions on which we will join, then be welcomed with open arms."
This entirely begs the question of why the hell NATO would want us in membership under these circumstances. To become the 26th member country, with no power or capacity to influence the NATO Big Three's nuclear policy or the decision to initiate a nuclear strike without political approval?
(At the moment NATO effectively has been given a political blank cheque by the USA, France and the UK to launch a nuclear strike instantly on the strategic judgement of its command structure, without reference to any of their three elected decision-making bodies – e.g. the House of Commons - but with the token endorsement of their heads – the President of the United States, the Prime Minister of France and the Prime Minister of the UK.)
What will actually happen when the SNP negotiating team, flushed with the success of the 2014 YES vote, actually sits down to prepare its opening position on the nuclear issues?
I can't answer that, since I have no idea how their team will be structured and how it will be advised, nor how they will define their range of negotiating objectives. So I can only say what could happen, and, tentatively, what should happen from the standpoint of good diplomatic and negotiating practice.
The pre-negotiations analysis is a critical phase in any negotiation. Under certain circumstances, especially if it is done badly, it can become the critical phase.
Over-simplifying, the first steps are to determine negotiating objectives, i.e. the desired outcomes of the negotiation, to prioritise them, to quantify the range of acceptability within the objectives, and to determine which objectives are linked, and how. Clearly defence related matters are interlinked, but defence as a total issue may have critical linkage to other issues, e.g. jobs, environmental matters, investment.
Two key aspects exist in relation to prioritisation of issues – significance and urgency. Issues may be of high significance but low urgency in terms of when the objective or at the other extreme may have high urgency but low significance. As in project planning, sequencing of issues is necessary – achievement of one may be contingent on prior achievement of another.
Let's try to look at the removal of Trident and NATO membership from a simple perspective -
The achievement of the removal of Trident objective, in the SNP defence paper, must be negotiated with the UK before membership of NATO can be negotiated – that is, if one accepts that it must, or even can be negotiated with NATO.
Both are presented to the SNP membership as deal breakers, i.e. crucial objectives that must be achieved. A nuclear Scotland is a totally unacceptable outcome in the negotiations with the UK. Membership of NATO is unacceptable if, after negotiating a nuclear-free Scotland with the UK, NATO requires Scotland to host nuclear weapons or participate in non-UN sanctioned operations. But all objective, even crucial objectives, have measurable elements defining how acceptable the agreement is on a spectrum of acceptability.
If it is essential, say for example, that I buy a car, there is almost certainly a minimum and maximum price that I will pay. If I must have the car by the end of the month, I may take delivery today or on the last day of the month. I therefore have entry and exit points on price and time.
And so it is with the crucial objective of the removal of Trident after independence – in an ideal world, Trident would vanish the day after independence, painlessly and without any cost to the Scottish people. The reality is more complex, and the SNP's 'withdrawal of Trident' will have to be defined on a spectrum of acceptability on a number of measurable criteria, with an ideal position as entry point and a deal-breaker definition on the same measures as an exit point.
Theoretically the entry point is immediately and the exit point is at some point on a loosely-defined or undefined timescale – a case of now or sometime …
In the magical thinking of many SNP supporters, independence is a magic wand that will conjure away all difficulties, as my correspondents are regular witness to, but realpolitik – and life – just ain't like that.
The dangers of the spectrum between entry and exit point on the removal of Trident are more or less signalled – defined almost – by the stage shown above -
Step ONE: Deactivation of Trident weapons system – remove triggers and keys, remove certain components of missiles, and take submarines off patrol. Timescale: a few days.
Step TWO: Remove all weapons and store at Coulport. Timescale: approximately eight weeks.
Step THREE: Physically remove weapons from Scotland. Timescale: two years approximately.
Step FOUR: Dismantle weapons at Burghfield Timescale: four years approximately.
Bear in mind these are John Ainslie's and CND's estimates (supported by some experts) – but the UK side of the negotiation has very different views, as the loaded questions of the Select Committee MPs demonstrated very clearly. (Whether they actually believe their estimates or not is immaterial – they have a vested interest in inflating them, and in inflating costs and exaggerating difficulties.)

The heritage of our company began over a century ago in the small village of Donnici, Italy located on the sunny hillsides of Calabria.
The people of Donnici took great pride in their close ties to agriculture, which at the turn of the last century was the mainstay of the regions. For most, sunrise to sunset was spent planting, cultivating, and harvesting the crops, tending to the animals, and maintaining their vineyards and orchards in the surrounding countryside. Delicious and bountiful food, warmly shared with friends and family, was at the very center of their lives and served as a foundation to the storytelling that deeply rooted generations in traditions and heritage.
Wheat to make homemade pasta and fresh crusty breads; tomatoes, olives and olive oil, and an abundance of fruits and vegetables were often harvested from the family's own land. Hand crafted Salumi, wonderfully delectable Italian cheese, produced by artisan cheese makers who made just a form or two a day from the milk of their small herds, almost always adorned the table.
It was into this culture that Luigi Bozzo, the founder of Ginos, was born in 1931, one of nine children, son of a coal miner, in the small village of Donnici. Here he learned the art of making fine Italian food.
In Luigi's early life, work was hard but family and friends were always close. This tight circle was expanded in a wonderful way when Luigi married Angelina in a small church (Santa Maria) in Donnici in 1952. Luigi's wife Angelina was a source of both strength and pride for Luigi. It was painful to think of being separated from his roots and the land he loved so much, but Luigi recognized the difficult economic reality of the times. He looked across the Atlantic to America, a land of limitless opportunity, where he believed a person could rise to any level based on hard work and a dream. Luigi left for this land of hope, with his wife and five children.
In 1975, the Family opened the doors of Gino's Restaurant in old town Salinas. Luigi worked tirelessly to ensure the fledging company's success. It was not uncommon to work 15 hours a day, seven days a week. It was durning this time that their sons and daughters learned the trade.
The unique taste of Gino's food, derived from Luigi's unswerving passion for excellence, proved to be the impetus for the company's growth over the years to come. It ultimately took over half a century for Luigi to achieve his dream, but he was finally able to see his company establish itself in the marketplace with a reputation of producing great food.We are confident that you will appreciate the depths of these convictions each time you experience one of our fine Restaurants, and we especially hope the presence of our Italian cuisine in your kitchen will bring an extra measure of warmth, love, and memorable times for both family and friends.
"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. - Isaiah 53:5"
"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. - Isaiah 53:5"
Gino's is owned and operated by the Bozzo family of Cosenza, Italy. Gino's got its start in Salinas in 1975 and has been serving the best authentic Italian dishes in the area ever since. Coming from southern Italy, we specialize in all types of pasta dishes.
Luigi Bozzo once said, "If I'm going to run a restaurant, everything must be fresh; and we must put out a quality dish, at a fair price!" So, in keeping with this tradition, we've withstood the test of time and hope to keep serving the Salinas area for many more years to come.

Bale picks up hamstring injury in Spurs win
Gareth Bale could be out until Christmas after picking up a hamstring injury during Tottenham's win at Fulham.
The Wales winger hobbled off in the second half of Spurs' 3-0 victory at Craven Cottage after he appeared to overstretch in shooting at goal.
While Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas is confident Bale has suffered no long-term damage, the Portuguese admits Bale is likely to be out for a couple of weeks.
Spurs also lost Michael Dawson to a hamstring injury early in the game, but Villas-Boas says his captain will not be sidelined for long.
"Both Bale and Dawson have suffered hamstring muscle injuries," Villas-Boas said."One looks more serious than the other although both are controllable.
"With muscle injuries it's very difficult but it might keep him out for one or two weeks. Dawson a little bit less."

Movie Review
Griffin knows better than anyone that he has a bear of a job.
Not that it's that different from what we all deal with in our workaday worlds. His workmates, after all, spend their days loitering at the local watering hole or preening for passersby. They hoot or growl over every little thing. They're rude and demanding, flighty, loud and hardly ever tidy up their areas. Griffin isn't so much a supervisor as he is a bipedal concierge/nursemaid, and he never has the freedom to ignore the elephant in the room.
He must feel, at times, like a Plugged In editor.
You won't hear Griffin complain, though. He digs his companions, and they like him pretty well, too. Frankly, it's like he was born to be a zookeeper. So why scrap a good thing?
One word: Stephanie. If there's anything Griffin likes more than giving a chimpanzee a good shampoo, it's his former main squeeze. Five years ago, Griffin asked Stephanie to be his mate for life, but she turned him down flat, believing Griffin could be ever so much more than a mere zookeeper. Now, like a migrating African swallow, she's back again—batting her eyes and flipping her hair and sending out all sorts of signals that she's ready to launch into another complicated courtship dance.
But Griffin feels like he will have to leave the zoo to capitalize on his chance. And the very idea of that makes his charges go wild with anxiety. Well, as wild as they can, sequestered as they are in a major metropolitan zoo. And failing to save the day by arranging for Griffin to save the day—and thus impressing the stubborn Stephanie—they resort to … a bit of old-fashioned chitchat.
You know, give him a pep talk. Over coffee and humongous meat bones or something. This guy needs help in the love department, they figure. And who better to give it than a bunch of wild beasts.
Positive Elements
Griffin is a likeable guy who, for much of the movie, goes above and beyond for his furry and feathered friends. He saves the zoo's lioness by reaching in her slimy maw to retrieve an aluminum can. He walks a monkey over to a section of the enclosure that has a bit more shade. He spends a great deal of time trying to help Bernie, a morose gorilla, climb out of his funk. He's a great zookeeper, so it's not too surprising that the zoo's animals want to do right by him. They care about Griffin so much, in fact, that they're willing to break one of their (ahem) cardinal rules—that is, to not talk with people—to help him out.
What they say is, of course, a mess. But still, we should give them a scratch behind the ear for effort.
Griffin—in spite of the animals' help—comes to see how important it is to stay true to yourself, and how neat it is to make good friends along the way.
Spiritual Content
Stephanie asks Griffin whether it's bad feng shui to have a television in the living room. Then she appears to answer her own question by saying that the yoga she does in the room (with help from the television) surely counterbalances any negative energy.
Sexual Content
Griffin's animals might not know very much about human relationships, but they do display a deep understanding of how to attract a mate. Bears, for instance, tell Griffin how important it is to walk around with one's crotch (referred to several times as a "pudding cup") thrust forward. "Show 'em the goods!" they say. A wolf advocates turning every date into a "home game" by marking territory with urine. A monkey tells Griffin that the best way to woo a woman is by flinging excrement at her. The lion offers the sort of advice that bad-boy humans have been taking for years: Insult the girl, then compliment her, then insult her some more.
Griffin uses all of these techniques—particularly the whole insult-compliment deal—and lo and behold, they work. Stephanie swoons and, before the film is out, the two are apparently living with each other. (The animals never suggest saying "I do.")
Women sometimes dress up in cleavage-revealing getups and dance suggestively. Couples kiss. A gorilla dances with and is seen flirting with women at T.G.I. Friday's. A joke is made of Griffin reaching into another man's pants pockets to retrieve a set of keys. That man tries to plant a kiss on an unreceptive female co-worker. A bear brags about how his own paramour has an extra claw "and she knows how to use it." Someone makes a crass reference to breasts.
Violent Content
Love hurts, they say, and that's particularly true in Griffin's case. When he renews his acquaintance with Stephanie, he's holding a porcupine—that shoots a couple of quills into his face. He painfully pulls them out. Then, when a lion "gets loose" in the zoo and appears to threaten Stephanie, Griffin tries to jump across a moat to save her—and instead slams into the rock wall and falls several feet to the ground below. He smacks his head against a metal bar, falls off a gorilla swing and drops from a bridge's towering lattice to the street below.
Griffin inflicts his share of injuries, too. After hearing that Bernie's suffered abuse at the hands of a fellow zoo worker (often shown brandishing a nail-tipped stick and pepper spray), he goes to the man's house and kicks him in the chest. He smashes an ice sculpture and causes someone to fall down hard. He tries to ride an ostrich, nearly crushing it. (Outtakes show the ostrich to be fake.)
There's talk of the gorilla "beating you to death with your own arm." Bears fight with one another. A gorilla drops from a bridge and lands heavily on a car, severely denting it. Griffin and a co-worker have so much destructive fun at a wedding reception that they jokingly mull making a career out of it; Griffin further suggests they knock off a convenience store. (They don't.)
Crude or Profane Language
Characters say "h‑‑‑" four times and misuse God's name nearly a dozen. We also hear a few curse word stand-ins such as "frick," freak" and "jeez."
Drug and Alcohol Content
Wine, beer, champagne, margaritas and mixed drinks are downed.
Other Negative Elements
A wolf advises Griffin to urinate on trees to mark his territory, then demands that Griffin try it in the wolf's own enclosure. He does—just as two other zoo workers come walking by. "It's going to be way hard to unsee that," one of them says. Griffin lies, telling her that the wolf had gotten stung by something and he was urinating on it to counteract the poison. The woman then makes Griffin finish the job (unseen by moviegoers). Later, Griffin also urinates in a potted plant at a fancy reception.
An unconscious lion is wheeled into the zoo's medical facility, her airway obstructed by something, and zoo personnel splatter lion saliva everywhere in their efforts to dislodge it. One bear suggests to another that he's been defecating in the drinking water. "You said that was vitamin drops!" the other bear exclaims. There's a reference to a "hot stinking pile," accompanied by a great deal of talk about urination, defecation and boogers. A wolf is caught licking his private parts. "I certainly wasn't cleaning my basement," he says. Griffin splits his pants.
Technically, Zookeeper doesn't maul its PG rating—though in this case the abbreviation might stand for "Pretty Gross." Its slapstick violence and crass humor is stuff that wouldn't shock the censors, and might be the stuff that 7-year-olds guiltily giggle about at the lunch table—the cinematic equivalent of milk shooting out of someone's nose.
But just as adults shouldn't encourage their little ones to turn milk-spewing into a sport, neither should they let these animals loose on their pride. This summertime slip-up of a flick, which carries the brand of Adam Sandler's Happy Madison Productions (Sandler himself voices the astoundingly annoying Donald the Monkey), is a kids' movie only in the sense that it's childish and juvenile. And it's only a comedy in the sense that it's kinda funny that anyone thought this was a good idea for a movie.
I walked into Zookeeper as an animal lover—the sort of guy who still cries during Bambi and who dutifully removes spiders from my house with a glass and hearty good wishes.
I walked out of Zookeeper wishing that Griffin's zoo was open to hunters. Or, at the very least, that someone would come in and make all those animals shut their yaps.

Somewhere, out there in the universe, Russell is shaking his head and laughing his butt off.
Wow, wow, wow, Matt! When he said that he felt that he'd honoured God enough on Survivor, I had this gut feeling that he'd be going home. But surprisingly, he was the first to complete the challenge and stay alive! Yay for Matt living another day! Love it when Jeff said, "Looks like God's not done talking to you." Lol!The rest of the episode was just boring. Ralph goes. Surprise, surprise. Twist. Steve goes. Surprise, surprise. Well, I did think that Andrea could be going, but Ometepe apparently changed their minds. Kudos to them for keeping all 6 original members! I can't believe none of the Zapatera managed to squeeze through any cracks. Props to Rob for having a tight reign over the other 5. Yawn.So there we have it. 2 will go home from Redemption Island next week, my guess is Steve and Mike/Matt, one will be voted off Ometepe (Grant or Andrea?) and then we'll have the finale two weeks later. Wow, this is fast! As it stands right now, I can't see a single person from Ometepe winning, other than Rob of course. And I'm now having this premonition that Ralph could win, seeing that they showed him saying that he's gonna be the Zapatera guy in the Final 3 (he's been getting a pretty good edit as well). Or Matt could be the biggest underdog and come back to win. I can't help holding on to Jeff's promise that Redemption Island has more to offer and that we should give it a chance. Hmm!So... I feel that either Rob, Ralph, or Matt could win this season. Oh just don't let it be Rob, please!
It seems like Matt would win in a finale of Rob, Matt, and Phil, because the Jury would be made up of people Rob got rid of.
