Faxon Garage / Mach 3 - 877-622-4348 - 1507 Ocean Ave, San Francisco - Mach III = Services: Speed and Sound Shop ***Experience: 1. Around mid-2008, I had H&R spacers installed by Faxon Garage aka Mach III to the rear of the car. As I was leaving the garage, one of the mechanic told me there was a space in between the rotor and the spacers. Sky said: "It should be fine but when you get home check your lugs just in case." My drive was from Ocean Ave. in SF to Hillsdale in San Mateo!! When I got home, the lugs were so loose that if I drove 5 more miles I would have been two wheels less on 101! GET SOME LICENSED MECHANICS BEFORE YOU KILL SOMEBODY! ***2. In late 2008, I went in to dismount my tires, Faxon Garage gave me a bag containing 4 TPMS's and TPMS band adapters. However, when I went home and checked the bag, expecting the contents in the bag. But no! There were too many missing parts to put the adapters together? Still haven't received a response from them regarding the missing parts! F***ing lame. MachIII FTL!!

Les Schwab is great. They helped me out with rims for my '67 Catalina. After that car stops bleeding me dry, I will definitely go back for rims for my 370z.

getting work done at williams auto body this week (from this list)
-front fang and rear valence black-out (william offered this service at $300 for both).

i'll be happy to post pix once i get my car back.

The Shop San Bruno, does more than service.. they do sell parts, just got to call or visit

yeah William's is def. expensive...when going around thinking about paint job he charges anywhere from 5k-10k.
This i wil say about him since i had work done by him before. The guy does good work just got to pay attention to his detail.
