Good mechanic/shop for 370z

bradcc · 11-19-2010, 02:44 PM

Anyone knows of a trustworthy mechanic/shop in SoCal to bring the z in for regular maintenance like fluid change? I don't have too much confidence in stealerships taking good care of my car so I'd prefer to do fluid changes outside and only go to Nissan for warranty repairs/bigger problems.

Any suggestion?

If you would rather not go to a dealership I would suggest either Precision Z in Canoga Park or Corner 3 in Lake Forest.

Where in SoCal, you could live in San Diego, and I'm telling you about a shop in Ventura.

Williams Automotive
6027 Ventura Blvd.
Ventura,93003
805 656 1026

But that is about 50-60 miles away from you. They work every thing from old models, to Vettes&Porsche's.

Before you blow off the dealer completely, ask them who their GTR tech is. My dealership has a tech that has taken special training on the GTR and is the only tech in the dealership who works on them.

He is my tech and I couldn't be happier with him. He treats my Roadster like the Crown Jewel that it is, and he treats me like a valued customer. He's very knowledgeable, personable, professional and informative, and his work is impeccable.

You are in NY, i think you should be taking your car to these guys Welcome To The Experience | Performance Motorsport 2010 I gurantee they can take care of your car better than any dealership on the East Coast... oh wait they own a dealership too lol

I highly recommend Seb at SpecialtyZ; great prices on parts and labor (cheaper than anywhere I have found), does top notch work, and is a great guy.
