560SL Mechanic San Francisco Bay Area?

Hey Everyone! I'm new to this forum and bought an '87 560SL. I've seen some helpful hints and great suggestions so my thanks to everyone for all your previous posts!! Wondering if anyone has suggestions for independent mechanics who work on 560SLs in The Bay Area/San Francisco...? I live in The East Bay but can travel pretty much anywhere in The Bay Area if its the right mechanic!! Seems like there are fewer and fewer of these old school mechanics so hoping some of you have some suggestions...? Many thanks in advance!! Here are a couple pics!!

Find a Mechanic?

Did you find a good mechanic for your 560? I'm in San Francisco and I've got an 85 380 SL that needs some help on a difficult-to-solve problem.
You can email me if you,d like at michart.sf@gmail.com. Thanks!

I highly recommend Junipero Serra Porsche & Mercedes Benz (https://www.porschedes.com). Jimmy, the owner, has a great team of hard working mechanics. He is very knowledgable and honest. He has been taking great care of my '93 300CE Cabriolet.
