Good Mechanic in Los Angeles ?
hi everybody 
I'm new to LA. I live in the Hollywood area, but I went to Keyes Chevy (in the valley) for an oil change last week.
A few days later now, my check engine light is on.
I'd like to take her in to a Vette specialist instead of the dealer.
Can anyone recommend a good mechanic in the LA area ?
thanks for your help everybody (of course I'm freakin' out a little)

It seems like a great shop, but the commute is gonna be a challenge if I have to leave her with him.
Know anybody in LA ?

Tim over at Mike Bradley's Automotive in Chatsworth works on new and older Corvettes. Great guy, very thorough.

I've got a C2 and C5, he works on both, along with all my other cars. For dealer work, many use Donny at Rydell in Northridge, also fantastic.

A few months ago I was pricing out getting some work done and contacted Spot 28 as it was recommended on this forum. I called multiple times, left a voicemail, and emailed but I never received a reply, nor was I able to reach the shop. Do you guys just drive over there or is there a different contact method?

Might I recommend getting the code off the DIC and posting it here? Perhaps we can help narrow down what exactly happened. And I'm a curious puppy too..
