ISF from Nola to SoCal
Hey guys, so I recently just made a cross country drive with my ISF from New Orleans to SoCal. Need some maintenance done, and I have no tools here. Does anyone have any recommendations for where I should take my car? Need minor things done. Oil change, brake pads, and new rear tires. I'm in the San Bernadino area, but I drive to OC here and there. New to the area, I'm also looking for weekly meets or anything like that to get to know some of the local car guys. Lmk!

Nice trip there! Glad you made it to So Cal safely!
For routine maintenance, if you're not a DIYer, Tommy @ MusicBox (South El Monte) can pretty much do everything for you, minus the rear tires since he doesn't have a tire installer on site.
It'll be nice to meet up and get to know more the the F community. The drive alone must've had some great pulls on some empty highways .
San Bernardino is a good middle ground between LA and Orange Counties, so meeting up won't be a problem at all. I will say, great owners all around. Everyone's always willing to lend a hand or at least point you in the right direction.

Thanks for the replies everyone! Looks like I'll be hitting up Tommy to get some work done.
Today was a sad day.. I was driving down to OC and an 18 wheeler had a blow out in front of me. I didn't have enough time to react and hit it straight on. Cracked my front lip and shook my diffuser loose. Diffuser will be an easy fix. As for my front lip, does anyone have any recommendations for body shops? Looks like it can be saved. I'll try and get some pictures tmr when I wake up.
