I'm looking for a repair shop in Northern CA to trouble shoot a rich running engine. I've replaced and rebuilt everything and now want to take it in. Does anyone know a shop?
I've tried: Frank's in Sac. Salerno's in Rocklin, KombiHous and no response, IPB in Sac and no response, Star Auto in Vacaville, plus a few others. There must be a least one guy out there that knows these cars? Thanks for any suggestions. |

Gavin autowerks in Oakland is very good and does work on the 4 cylinder cars
510-633-0620. He comes highly recommended by many of my friends with 914-4's. Steer clear of John Holleran. Just because he is in Auburn now does not mean he operates differently. If you want to dig up info its not hard. I agree that he is talented and capable but that only gets you so far. The above referenced A-hole was probably Pacific Power Motorsports. I am sure they are not right for everyone but Eric is great and they do very good work. Also the alignment tech from the now closed Roger Krause Racing is working for them and it a great resource for setting up the old air cooled cars. They did the final tuning and adjustments on my 73 1.7 after a 4 year restoration. Good luck Chris |
