Mechanics in Socal

[1badwe4]

Sorry if I am posting in the wrong area, but I am new to Southern California, and was wondering if someone could give me a list of good Buick mechanics in Socal. Please give more than one or two places...I want a good selection. Thanks in advance.

Below is a list of most of the turbo brick speciality shops & contacts.
Lou Czarnota at Lou's Auto Repair is the only repair shop that is a supporting supplier/vendor of this site, TB.com. Lou has worked on my turbo brick cars for about 8 years or so. I have used Don Lee Auto of Rancho Cucamonga for all or most of my suspension work. Both are excellent sources of repair & Maintenance. These shops are spread out from the upper valley to the San Diego area. Pick your own poison. HTH

Oh no, Lou, you pick the transportation, and if you pick the stage II car and drive like you did last time, I can just throw away my shorts, but I'm not cleaning up the, shall we say, "fallout".

[cruzn57]

need to stop with "too much information"
we all can visualize the reaction from a 10 sec ride, ( or possibly quicker)
but to discuss it on the forum, .... well, thats too much info! LOL

keep this up Gary, and you be buying that stage 2 car, !!!
personally, I find it gratifying have one to cruise, and one to go fast in, kinda like having your cake , and eating it too!

1badwe4..... welcome to the ADULT section.
Lou is not far from you. and is very knowledgeable,
hope to see you at some of the get togethers!

I did not intentionally omit Archie's name from the list without his acknowledgement. I know Archie, and I E-mailed him several times asking him if it was ok to enter his name on the above list, and never received a response. Archie told me once that he is against most of the on-line forums and stuff like that. I also tried to get him to sign up for TB.com so he could post in the Southwestern Section, and that also didn't happen. Tell him I said hello for me when you see or talk to him please.

Whatever his reason, he is entitled to his beliefs and whether or not he wants to signs up on any particular forum or not. I would like to believe that at least some benefit for everybody comes out of being a member of a forum like this. I feel that the good definitely overcomes the bad, and that the positive overcomes the negative. Without the forums, we would not have the knowledge to share from. I am aware that we have some very knowledgable talent on the Southwestern Section, and I for one, am very thankful.
