Looking for a good shop for my FRS in the Bay Area
I was looking for a good shop to bring my car in for its 60k service. I don’t have a place that I can reliably work on my car so I need to bring it in to a shop. I want a place that is known for good work, I would rather pay more for someone who knows what they are doing/does good work than try and be cheap. Does anyone have any suggestions? Experiences? Advice?
I live in northbay so I would rather go to a shop in that area but I'm willing to drive a bit for a highly recommended place. Thanks in advance |

The Racer's Line in Concord. Talk to Neal, he's a great guy and seriously knows his stuff with these cars!

As Sheep mentioned, check out The Racers Line. Probably the closest shop for you and I have nothing but good things to say about Neal.

If you like doing your own work: Pit Row DIY on Lafayette in San Jose, is very convenient.

I'm not sure how far they are from you, but you might check out Werkshop: https://www.facebook.com/WerkshopSSF/?fref=ts
They do quite a few boxer-equipped cars Nick C.

+1 for Neal @ the racer's line. I took my BRZ to his shop for the same 60K service.

You can always keep WORKS in mind as well for any maintenance or upgrades!

Gotta give a shoutout to @Elite Performance. Just had them do a catback exhaust, brake pad, and shifter springs install. Took no time at all and they were even able to re-thread some wheel studs that Costco fucked up (when I bought new tires).

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions, I ended up checking out the racers line, which went well. I can see myself going back in the future when I can actually afford more goodies and not just for maintenance. Neal was very cool and knowledgeable.
