Best shops IMO

2 Hispanics and a Flip Swap Garage (Shaggy, Dave, and Jess), specializing in GC swaps

JoeJoe69's garage, specializing in Suby FWD power

Infeks Bugeye garage, can do anything to a bugeye and then some. Also specializes in hording anything and all bugeye parts. This guy can probably build a car with all the stuff he has horded.

there are some other garages out there but I will let them post

I said it before and I will say it again. Most of the best Suby mechanics on island are right here in HIIC.

where in the bay r u coming from? I'm from Concord. Welcome and you'll love your stay here, let us know if u ever wanna go cruisin around.

As far as shops go, the Subaru dealership is good for maintenance. As far as modding and all that stuff, ppl here on the forums are more than willing to help out. As long as lunch and beer (or whatever beverage you can muster up) is provided, or not.

I'm actually from Hayward... "the stack". But yeah, I'll hit you up when i get out there.

I hope nothing goes wrong with my car when i get out there. I mean my clutch burned out a week before i shipped it over and some other things had to get done before I shipped it, so hopefully I'll be sitting pretty for a while. I just wanted to know, just in case anything were to happen. Thanks for the info though! I hella appreciate it.
