Nor Cal Shops

[RedRyder]

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.
