There's:

Auto Innovations, Milpitas

Motorpsort Techniques, Hayward

C2 Automotive, Oakland

ProStreet Motorsports, Hayward

Or you can do it yourself w/ a few friends and hand tools, shouldn't take long at all. I would however, recommend a wheel alignment afterwards.

The most time consuming part is removing the rear interior panels.

Gabe does good work (precision muffler)

See his shop at precisionmuffler.com

He particularly loves when you pester him while he's trying to work on your car.
"hey Gabe, does that really go there?"
"Hey Gabe, what about this thing?"
"Hey Gabe, why does that have to go there?"

Seriously, though, yeah he does good work.

Maximus, I'd like to check out your headlights. I'm "interested" in them.

Call up Auto Innovations ( http://www.autoinnovations.com ) next to Gabe and have them do the alignment. Several of us have used them for alignments.

Yup, I agree. I used them religiously for my tire/wheel/suspension needs.
