North Bay shop recomendation

Hey, been a while since I've posted.

Does anyone have any recommendations for shops in the North Bay area closer to Sonoma county?

I recently moved back up to NorCal from SoCal. I used to have The Racers Line as my go to place but they are no longer in business

Im looking to get some work done with control arms, and replacing the fluid in my Diff and Trans.

Concordautorepair is where Neil works now and is in the same plaza. CMautohaus in the southbay is the new 86 specialist shop

Yup. 100% second this. Neal is still the guy to trust even if he isn't the one wrenching you know he stands behind his shops work. He even got an alignment rack recently

+1 for CM Autohaus. Ezekiel and the team have great quality of work and customer service. Been going there for years.
