Post SF Bay Area p-car mechanic list

I put this together a while ago and wanted to share it with all the Northern Calif. enthusiasts here at Renn's.

The data was mostly culled from personal experience and word of mouth. If you want to add something that is of value to everyone, let me know and i'll add it in. i'm at -> mrfrog@ddurrelltech.com

cheers...

right on.. talked to tony at Heyer Performance trying to get his address/city. he thought i must be bored (or something) to do this list, i just told him that i was an enthusiast that saw a need and that there people who could benefit. it took him a while to understand that he was getting free advertising based on word of mouth from this resource via renn's (although not mentioning it!)

usually people have to pay $ for that stuff!!

One edit...

Carrera Motors, Adam @ 415.342.9955, 408 1st Ave San Mateo CA 94401

Should be a 650 area code...

Otherwise, great list. Thanks for compiling this.

Nice list Deni....hey Contra Costa is in the East Bay, isn't it??!!

John at Valhalla works on my car. Note he also does a bit of work on Volvo's....a small portion of his work, though.

John (or one of those guys) over there at Valhalla gave me much **** for getting a Goliath for restoration that he kinda turned me off. but then again, he wasn't talking down my p-car - just the lowly 1.1 litre engine that he didn't like and had crummy experience working on (the goliath)....

thanks for the input guys...!
