Thumbs up Help Me Find a Good Mechanic...

Please help me find a good shop/mechanic located in/around the San Fernando Valley that can help me with the following:

Draining/changing differential fluid
Draining/changing brake fluid
Draining/changing clutch fluid
Draining/changing transmission fluid
Alignment
Valve adjustment
Greasing the convertible top seals so they don't dry out
Changing cabin filter
Changing air filter
Changing spark plugs
Checking, Cleaning and Spraying 3m silicone spray on the CV and Steering Boots

Is there a shop you guys could recommend that has workers whom are knowledgeable about S2000s other than the Honda dealership?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tony Fuchs @ mid valley auto repair off of Winnetka, he usually has 2-3 s2k's in his garage that he's working on. Some people like his work, others don't. He's been my regular mechanic for years now. The only thing i think he cannot do is align the vehicle, but their's always west end for that.

I have a different people I like to use for certain things, and depends what area I am in at the time.

For the OC I like to use SHANE. (I can provide you his info). He's a former mechanic fo Weseloh Honda of San Juan Capristrano.

For the 909 Area, I like to use Ben Supertech.

They are BOTH real certified Honda Mechanics, that has never let me down.

For performance installs I use HUNTEREZ and REVJUNKY.
