Any good East Bay mechanics (near Oakland)?

Well my warranty just ran out and I'm due for a service soon so I was wondering if anyone recommended any good shops/mechanics that they take their C32's to? I had only used the dealer since I could always get them to fix various thing under warranty, but with our past cars they always come up with BS "issues" to "fix" right after the warranty expires.

So any suggestions would be welcome, thanks!

Hey DarkXerox,

Been taking my car to Leo at San Pablo European for years. Man, I love this guy. Not one of those super fancy shops that have coffee and donuts in their waiting room... He's a one man shop cause he wants to be responsible for everything that's done. He's modded my car and is very familiar with the C32 now. LOL

Best of all, I TOTALLY trust Leo. I could give him a blank check and I know he will only charge me for work he has done.

At the beginning of this year he was so busy, he was turning away new customers, but I think he's slowed down a bit now. Give him a call and tell him Greg with the C32 referred you.

Thanks Greg, I remembered you mentioned that shop the one time I checked out your car, but I couldn't remember exactly which one it was. I'll give him a call this week then.
