Manager

I am dedicated to excellent customer service and high-​quality auto repair. I’m also very proud of Orinda’s Classic Car service, where we understand the relationship that you have with your classic car. We know that many of our customers still love their old cars. Some of these cars haven’t been on the road for a while or have a nagging problem that you haven’t been able to resolve. You may just need some simple maintenance or fine tuning. You may not have the time or place to work on your own car, but have no intention of getting rid of it. We are here to help! Orinda possesses the skills and finesse required to work on your classic car. We have a passion for classics. Our services include: initial diagnosis, start and inspection after storage, complete mechanical inspection with written report, tune ups & diagnostics, engine and transmisson repair, carb overhauls & adjustments, suspension & steering, brake system repair & upgrades, electrical system, and exhaust system.
