I wanted to give a shout out to these guys because they're pretty awesome and they're having an event this Sunday 10/21/18 from 12-3.

Yelp: https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-driveway-san-jose

My review is on yelp, but I wanted to add to it - I started working on my spark plugs and I got tools stuck in the spark plug tunnel. I gave them a call and wondered how much a tow would be, but they just asked for my address so they can take a look and see if they could do anything before trying for a tow.

They were working on an Evo already so they told me they would come later in the afternoon. Well I managed to get past my tool getting stuck (wrench to hold back the 14 mm socket in the chamber while I pulled on the extension), they were still willing to drop by when I told them I was working on my last spark plug.

These guys might not have actually done any work on my car, but the fact that they were willing to get the extra (5) miles to come by and see how wit was going on my spark plugs really meant a lot to me.

They gave great prices and they're super chill.

Their mechanic really goes the extra mile, he consolidated all my remaining fluid in the bottles for me without me asking.

I can't attest to their repair work as I haven't had to do any, but I'm sure they got a good guy for that stuff.

2020/06/27 Update: These guys helped me out again. This time with Dayco serpentine belt, EBC Yellowstuff brake pads, Eneos Racing Street oil, and LiquiMoly Ceratec!
They have some Euro customers that live and preach by Ceratec so I thought I'd give it a try.

The combined Ceratec with the Eneos Racing Street is wild. The engine is ridiculously smooth (the change in smoothness is akin to Mobil1 to Idemitsu Zepro, except I've been using Zepro).
I think the Ceratec added viscosity back into the oil so the engine's revs don't drop as quickly (caught me by surprise)? I don't think the rev slowing speed is to a bad level though. Overall, I would recommend people to try out the Ceratec. It's pretty awesome feeling how smooth the engine feels (although some of that could be the Eneos Street Racing, which I'm also a big fan of because the specs are amazing).

I also didn't like how the PowerStop pads felt so I threw in some EBC Yellowstuff
