bay area shop rec

[no1of consequence]

burlingame independant 650.342.5889 [jim is the guys name - he's a champ] in 
san mateo do very good, reasonably priced work. ive taken 4 cars to him now 
and always had great experience. he's flyin solo now so plan on a 2 week 
wait.

also german auto salvage in berkeley [aka wolfsport] 510 525 6000 [i 
think..] are great. eddie is an excellent mechanic. theres another shop next 
door called 'karmakanic' [he's a glassblower and v8 specialist - only in 
berkeley =] but a buddy has been taking his a4 there and has had good things 
to say.

no direct exp with thomas, but they look legit. terry griffin at griffin is 
a... character. and he's a bit pricey iirc. ive seen a few cars they've 
built [supercharged vr6 jetta, 16v 2L rabbit, etc] and they  seem to do good 
work. when i lived in berkeley i always took the 5k to eddie at G.A.S.

hth,

<< i have been having service done at new dimensions, but it's like four 
hours out of my life to get the car there and back.  looking for something 
closer to the city proper. i've had two recs from this local audi punk - not 
mike williams, heh.  thomas sport tuning and gryphon moterwerke.  any 
thoughs on these folks? >>
