Los Angeles Area Shops?
There hasn't been a recent suggestion list of LA area shops, and several of the old forum posts contain shops that have since closed down.
So - Who do we trust around LA? Specifically West Side or a 10mile radius thereabouts, and looking for mechanical work not body or paint. TRE is doable, but I'd really rather not drive the car that far in it's current condition.

I've gotten a lot of recommendations for Marco at TLG in North Hollywood and I've had good success with Bill at Pasadena Aircooled. I was using Peter at Stuttcar but he is just way too busy to give me any of his time unfortunately.

So just to be clear, I'm in Venice. Burbank, Costa Mesa, and Pasadena are just as far away as TRE.
