Deutsche Motor Sport in Concord, Cal

I'm looking for a mechanic/shop the the Concord/Walnut Creek California area to help me with a few issues that I'm clearly too stupid to solve. Anyone ever use these guys? Other recommendations?

we have two in our area. both good. tom at deutche is one of them. the second guy is john over at valhalla in layfayette. if your problems are stock, then i give the nod to john. if you are having a performance/upgrade issue, where a non stock part is giving you fits, go to tom. (saves you the lecture from john )

i am under the impression that they dont like each other. i have used both guys, and i like them both.

LOL - I think John's stock in trade is a lecture.

I've used John in the past and had good experiences (including lectures).

I've been using Tom Amon of MobileWorks West for the past two years or so - he comes to you, which is a big plus

Thanks vash,
My problem is, oh wait, the car's problem is a low idle, which should be straight forward for a pro. I've checked everything I can reasonable check without success. After reading every single low idle thread I'm leaning (excuse the pun) towards a vacuum leak, but I'll be damned if I can find it. I'll give Tom a call. Thanks again...
