Need mechanic and body shop in San Diego area

A friend of mine's boss apparently has an MGB in his garage that he wants to get on the road again. It needs mechanical work as well as body / paint. Any recommendations?

Mechanic in San Diego

Post by JustMyOpinion »

Wow, this posting asking for advice for a mechanic in San Diego (I think that is southern California) over 2 years ago!!! and not one reply or recommendation. Scary.

Let me ask again for 2008 - any mechanic to work on my 1980 TR7 in San Diego or vicinity?

Thanks for your help.

Well that's a bit extreme, don't ya think? LOL! My request is long since expired, but surely someone here knows of a trustworthy shop in the S.D. area? I know we have some members from down that way.

Stopped by Dave's shop yesterday and the frame is painted a nice shinny black and looks like new. Also a low milage TR7 is being repaired or should I say having the right front replaced and when it is finished you will not even know it ever happened. Dave is quite the craftsman and dose thing right. :thumbs: All new parts.
