So you know John for 10 years? He was bad 10 years ago? Or is he still bad now? Do you still go to him? I assume so since you know he is still bad. Otherwise, if he is bad, why do you still go to him? I guess I'm just confused about the statement. I don't go to John that often but the few times I did, he seems knowledgeable enough. The other NorCal guys seem to have good luck with him too.
I'm not really trying to defend John, just trying to understand your statement.
I've been there and I can't say that I would want to go back. I only went there because of the recommendations here. I really did try to like the place because finding a shop you can trust is
hard. I had my tires mounted and balanced on my new set of rims last year and had them trim
the fender. After the install, he asked me if my rims were new and immediately i thought "now what?!"
(that can't be a good thing). He pointed to one of my rims and there was chip on my rim. Now it's not
big or anything but enough to make 99% of CL member upset knowing how everybody 's pretty anal
about their cars. It's a pretty obvious defect and I surely would've caught it when my rims were sitting in
my living room. Dont know, could or could not have been John but I never got a good vibe there.
I took my GS in for balance and alignment at auto innovations in milpitas a few weeks back because I had to replace one of my tires and my car was due for an alignment. I spoke with Orlando and he's pretty cool. He calls when he says he will and that's not something you get with car shops. I would be going back if I were to have any alignment or balancing done. As for maintainance, I'm already starting to do everything myself so I can actually learn something and if there some kind of screw up I can blame no one else but myself.

Hmm.... I don't know what exactly you are trying to do and on which car (I know fender roll and shaving). If the job is serious, I guess you are looking for a good bodyshop.
PM me if you have not yet received any good direction.

Joseph,
Wanted to go a little lower, about another .75 in. Currently 1 finger gap all around. I have Tein CS with 20s all around. Just looking for a shop that does fender roll or shaving. I can go to any bodyshop but was looking for recommendation from a CL members.

I would recommend One Ton Garage in Santa Clara. They did my fenders just recently and he did a GREAT job. He was even able to fix my front fender that I messed up, twice. He's actually putting together Jay's car from Drift Unit at the moment so hopefully he can fit you into his schedule. Go to their website and shoot Van an email. He is VERY knowledgeable about what type of offsets that you can fit and all. Tell him that Anna with the IS sent you.
I would suggest contacting Exact Motorsports (www.exactmotorsports.com) in Milpitas to get a quote. I always take my car to them for maintenance and pretty much any kind of service.

I recommend One Ton Garage located in Santa Clara. He's a bit pricey but his work is definitely worth it. He is the one who put together Jay's car from Drift Unit (silver S14) and he also rolled my fenders.
