Recommendations for a shop in Oakland, Berkeley or San Leandro for 30K service for a 2013 IS-F? Seems like a majority of the recommendations are for shops in the south bay and I live in Oakland so those are too far.

Default Best alignment shop in the Bay Area? Southbay preferred.

Anyone know of a reputable alignment shop with a good price in the South bay area? San Jose, Milpitas, Santa Clara, etc. Thinking about auto innovations.

Default Looking for a new repair shop in South Bay or Peninsula

I've used Exact Motorsports for many years, but this last visit the quality of the work has gone down. I'm in the search for a new mechanic to do major maintenance and repairs. South Bay or Peninsula, any recommendations?

Try Elite Performance in Burlingame - The guys there are detail and very knowledgeable. I bring my car there for services and I believe a few members as well.

Feedback on "The Shop" in San Bruno.

I brought my 4 rims and 4 tires here. Tires were already on the rim but I couldnt get it to stretch and the bead to seat. He told me it would be $10 each and if I wanted another $5 to balance.

I came back to pick up the wheels.... He was only able to get ONE wheel to fully seat. Another wheels he "almost" got to seat but not fully. He balanced both wheels (not sure why you would balance the wheel if the bead wasnt fully seated) Total came out to $53.
I asked why am i being charged if you couldnt accomplish the task. He said he was charging me to air up the tire and he spend a lot of time on it and should have charged me more. I questioned why the one wheel was balanced if it wasnt fully seated and he reduced $5.

Default Lowering Springs Installation in Bay Area

for those in the bay area, ca - I am curious to know where and how much it cost you to get your springs installed...


I got a quote of $500 for installation - just want to see if that's pretty much the going rate.


I would usually install it on my own (as I have with my previous cars) but I am getting a lil lazy nowadays....


thanks in advance.
