Exclamation SoCal AC installer / Shop recommendations

I’m looking to install a RetroAire AC very soon into my 1975. Any SoCal AC installer / shop do you guys recommend that is quite familiar with our cars.

Thanks Pelicanites!

You might want to give Scott's Independant a call and see who they recommend. They may be willing to do it. They used to do a mod to SC's if I recall correctly. They're in Anaheim over by the stadium.

RetroAir's website lists several SoCal shops who are experienced with the installation of their systems. It's good to have a shop that knows what they are doing with the system. When I installed their parts, the instructions were not very good.

Experienced Shops Porsche

I'm not sure of changes that have been made since they became part of Classic Auto Air.

Steves D&S Auto Air in Costa Mesa. He’s VERY familiar with these cars, have had him service a few of mine, and seen him retrofit enhanced systems using Kuhel and others.

Give him a call!

RetroAire, eh? Why not a Griffith system, or the front-mounted electric sucker from ClassicRetrofit?
