    I have shopped there more than a few times. It has been fun hanging out and talking with Miguel, although i have not seen him in the store since he felt pressed to return to the high tech business. (I saw him at CI in Monterey. He was pretty busy.) I like what he's done with the layout and choice of merchandise since he bought it from the previous owner, who called the business Auto Enthusiast, i think. I like the products. His collection of books is small compared to, fo example, the store at Infineon Raceway. Also, as far as exhaust enhancements go, I would call the store first to see if they have what you want.

    I have yet to visit Miguel's shop, but have had conversations with him becuase he also had the delightful experience of dealing with WAYNE HYNES of SR EXOTICS AUTOMOTIVE. I saw Miguel's car in his shop for months.

    Hello to all. I am a brand new member to your board. I do not own a Ferrari at present, maybe someday.

    I do own a red/tan 2001 NSX-T that my wife and I love.

    We have been to Autoaffair many times and it is a great store to go and shop for car stuff. The owner is a great guy and his son works there too. His son is also a great kid. They have some nice stuff and it is a great place to go shopping for that little gift for the car person in your life.
    They are located in the Sycamore Shopping Center at the intersection of San Ramon Valley Blvd. and Sycamore Road in Danville, easy to get to. Nice restaurants and other shops to browse through.

    Enjoy-

    Great store! Miguel and his son Pablo own it and are nice guys to deal with. Tons of memorabelia, models, clothing, etc.
    Miguel has a Tubi exhaust on his 355 but I don't know if they sell them... sounds great but...
    CAPRISTO exhaust is the way to go. Smoother, more aggressive sound. Blows Tubi away! I sure that any other F-chatters that were at Concorso this year that was within 5 miles of the Meridian booth would agree...
    They sell Capristo and other goodies. Cool site too.

    Hey that was great having all that feed back from you guys , thank you !But has anyone had Miguel's shop work on there car , maybe I missed someones note . It sounds like a great shop , but trying to find out if his work is efficiant ( does he get it done on time , do as he promised , is it a clean install - properly !) . When i met him at the Concourso this last Aug. he seemed very into car care and was a very nice guy , the question is "How is his workmanship " ?

    AutoAffair is an automotive boutique, and then there's also Miguel's shop, the name of which escapes me. The scope of Miguel's shop is vague to me. Miguel does not do the work. (He's back at a software company in Bishop Ranch, I think, and lets others run the store day-to-day.) He said that his shop does light work, nothing major. What is that? Anyway, for serious Ferrari work, he said that Brian Crall's shop is nearby.

    Brian Crall's shop is at 10 Beta Court, San Ramon, CA 94583. Phone 925-552-9700 Cell 925-457-7005.

    He has been fantastic with me advising me on a 360 purchase, and I have not yet given him any business.

    He comes well-recommended, and I can say the same as he is a true gentleman.

    Locals should support him.

    And when driving from Danville to San Ramon you can stop by my shop in San Ramon. It's high end audio and home theater with all the toys.

    Ferrari's and home theater go hand in hand.

    Tuesday night Discovery HD had a whole show on the 04 Concorso. You should have seen it especially here in HD on the 100" screen.

    Stop by. You'll learn a lot.

    regards,

    It is now owned by Rob Robinson and is called The Paddock at the livery, it is 180 from the previous owner in looks and how it is run(understatement of the year) let's just say a big improvement.

    No Bob he is talking about us.

    I suppose he didn't like the idea of needing to wait for an available appointment date.
