When you need moddin', definitely go to Sharkwerks!

But some has asked about independent dealers to go for regular maintenance...

This is the answer someone gave on Rennlist.org:

"Many good indies in the Bay Area, see:

http://www.pca-ggr.org/localmech.cgi

I've used Moddermann (for the initial PPI), Devek (for tyre mounting) and CT Automotive (for brakes). All three were very good. They certainly knew what they were talking about, had 10-15 other p-cars in their shop, and gave me better rates than the stealer. Most also offer a years warranty on the work (stealer gives two years warranty).

For major work in the past (RMS, IMS, Cam cover leaks) I've taken the car (under warranty) to the stealer -- but since the my warranty has expired I'm planning on sticking with an indy. If you go to an autocross event, you can get many more recommendations for mechanics. It's amazing how many people steer clear of the stealer."

 

I also like to point out that I also had great work done at Carlsen if you are planning on taking your car to the dealership. Thank you Brian and Beto.

 

Anyone has any experience with the shops below for regular maintenance? Thanks!

Uhm... no one has any input?

 

I like Tom from T&D better but he's in San Jose..
I heard good things about The Stable in SF.. and some guy in Richmond I forgot his shop name

 

Thanks for the input. Those 2 may be too far for me though, since I live in Burlingame. I'm just lookin' for someone who knows what they are doing to do my 45K...

Not any crazy tuning or bodywork. Those will go to Sharky

 

Quick edit... apparently Devek went out of business...

 

really? damn

 

I have used Dave Modderman and they do a great job very helpful with advice.

 

Devak is out? Wow.. i used them to mount/balance on tires, Sharky for mods and Carlsen for service... BUT i am still under warranty for a bit so ill stick with Carlsen..

 

I actually will like someone to verify that, I may be wrong. I heard of that Devek went out of biz from Modderman.

 

It's true. I drove by their last location in Redwood City about two weeks ago and the space is empty.

Devek moved to Hayward:

Hmm, Cabot Rd. ... I think that's near Parts Heaven. We could blow some big $$$ in Hayward these days

 

+1 for Dave Modderman, he's a great guy, & provides great service.
