innerware Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Thought I would share. I know a lot of you guys thought they were pricey and all. But they were my only garage out here. I haven't had much done to the Z in the last few years. But they were always honest fair people I really trusted. It was nice to have guys 20 minutes away with parts if you needed them fast. They were also really nice when I first bought the car and knew nothing about it or cars. I swear this one time John from there talked to me for an hour one day on the phone trying to help me diagnose and fix a problem I had. This was months before I met HybridZ. Not many shops would take that kind of time with someone they barely knew. I didn't mind one bit paying them to work on my car. Also liked being able to see everyones Z's that were in the shop or waiting for people to pick them up. So Richmond California's Z Doctor is gone. Thought I would share. I am just kind of sad is all. I now need a new shop in the Oakland Area that I can trust. I don't need anything done to the car now, but it would be nice to know. So, anyone trust anyone in the Oakland area with there Z's?

LS1 Z Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I'm right on the other side of the tunnel from you in Orinda (orinda shell auto care). I've worked on Hydridz's members car's as well as worked with members here on our own cars. Or.. If your looking for John (Z-Doctor). You can find him at Orinda Motors.

innerware Posted January 12, 2005 Author Share Posted January 12, 2005 Hey thanks. That is just the info I needed. Do you have any idea why they closed? And Orinda isn't far at all. If I am in need I will surely remember you. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaime240z Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Try looking up Dando's Auto in Fremont. They're not that close, but they really know Z cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS1 Z Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I don't know why they closed after years after all these years.I'll ask him next time I talk to him. I new customer of mine (ex z-doctor) menctioned that John (new manager at Orinda Motors) came from there. Small town here in Orinda, we all get along and deal with each other and most importaint of all people are gonna go were they are most comfortable and can trust. Enough of my soap box. Need me or help I'm always here! JOEY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
