Advice for nice shops that do oil change and bolt on in the East Bay - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

wilfredwong · 10-29-2014, 04:19 PM

I'm trying to find a shop that could do oil change and some mods such as bushings, lines. I know there are a lot of really good shops out there but still, I want to ask about you guys advice. I'm living at the walnut creek, concord area, so it will be the best if the shop is in the east bay.

EDGE started out as a couple of guys who raced their BMWs on the weekends and worked on cars in their garage. I used to go to them when they were in a garage... as in HOUSE.

Go there. Good people who are car guys, not mechanics.
Say hello to Gordon the owner for me.

Wow, thats really cool. Didn't know their history beyond they came from BMWs. I had an beat to hell 88 325 for a first car so I have a soft spot for E30s and was in awe of their shop cars when the held cars and coffee for us over the summer.

Hey @wilfredwong,

I am the official/un-official FT86 specialist in the North Bay and obviously at EQ tuning and also an FRS owner myself. We are located in Fairfield.

Send me a PM and I can get an idea of what you'd like done and give you a quote and maybe some advice, whether or not you'd like to use our services or not.

No we do not unfortunately. We only stock and use Amsoil, but Im sure we could get our hands on some Eneos from a wholesaler.
