Need recommendation on Shop in San Jose area

My garage here in MA has a customer who's moved out West (sorry) and needs a good shop in the San Jose area. He's got an SC, pretty much stock, daily driver.

Any recommendations?

Any places to stay away from?

Do a search for Tom Amon. He's mobile, and I think he serves the San Jose area. He's gotten very good reviews by those that have used him.

I would say to use Tom Amon at mobile works west. We are a mobile service and come to your house. He has 30 years + behind him, and ex owner of T&D on bascom and hamilton.

Mobileworkswest@aol.com Or 408-439-0545
Or im at mobileworks@aol.com 408-580-7919

Best of luck. But all shops in the area are highly recommended.....

I'd have to recommend Tom Amon also, he did a fantastic job on my engine rebuild, first class service and a great guy. I think we're all lucky in N. California to have the service that Tom and Jimmy provide. I can't see why anyone would take there car to a shop anymore when you have Tom turn up to your garage and work there.
