Chris,
You will find that our sea of auto repair and supply shops runs rather shallow
here in Santa Cruz. I can recommend that you stay clear of the Engine Room.
They claim to specialize in classic imports, they can work on them, but unless
you are inherently wealthy and don't mind poor customer service this isn't the
place to go. I've used the DMV clinic once "Datsun Mercedes Volvo" it seems to
be the only place here that knows what "SU's" stands for, but then again, they
are use to charging $700 for a fuel pump on a Lexus. Living in Santa Cruz I
just turn my own wrenches and read the list every day and hope nothing too bad
happens to my roadster. Good luck, and if you find a good place....let me know.
