Nor Cal Shops
 

Anyone know of some good shops around Hayward that are reputable and fair. Also, if they're cheaper, that would be dynamite. I think I cooked my head gasket on the drive from Winnipeg to California. I understand that you get what you pay for, but I just moved down to Hayward for school, and I got some bad news from my Neon(slighly milky appearance in the oil, sweet smell when the heat is on, and slight stumbling at idle - tell me I'm wrong, please). Anyways, I like being able to talk to the person about the work rather than just getting a car back that I trust is fixed. Any help would be great.

Try Rick Weldon at PR Motorsports in Hayward. He has a nice shop and used to do all my rx-7 race stuff. His number is (510) 786-0851. He does all kinds of work and would be able to help you.

Thanks very much. I will give that a shot. As an addendum, it's just a stocker, so I hope I won't be wasting the time of an auto genius on a little Neon.

He mostly does stock stuff, he does the racing stuff on the side.

You can also give us at Goodies Speedshop a call. We're a one stop shop for you right now.

I think he was looking for someone in Hayward.

Well, he did say "around Hayward", as well as reputable and fair, and we are reputable and fair, and only about 20 minutes from Hayward.

I'm not so sure on reputable, I mean you do work there. :D

ouch. lol. I second on Goodies. I called today to talk about getting some rims. I was told the guy that handles that department was out and he would give me a call back. I start thinking, alright I'll have to call back tomorrow because they will forget me. An hour later, I get a call from a friendly guy who seems happy to help me out. Great experience. Placing my order tomorrow . Im excited to get to see their shop. I hear they have some nice stuff up there.

That would probably be Rich. He's our wheel/tire specialist. And yes, he's always willing to get the right wheels for you.
