    Where are the best (most capable) mechanics for newer 360 in Nor Cal or Bay area? I live in Shell Beach and nearest one south is Auto Gallery in Calabasas, nearly 2.5 hours away. I would profer to drive north anyway. I'm due for a 3 year major. However car has only 8600 mi's and just this month had clutch replaced (brakes at 5000 miles). Any thoughts on 3yr. major with these stats?

    Aside from the dealers here (FoSF and FoSV), I would highly recommend Brian Crall in San Ramon.

    I have more faith in him than the dealers themselves.

    He is also an fchat member (Rifledriver). You can reach him at 925-552-9700.

    I'm sure majority of the Norcal fchatters will agree with me.

    I am only 1yrs old fchatter(less, actually) and 1 yr in FCA. He (Brian) is the ONLY mechanic I have ever seen at FCA functions ( he drives one), and many functions...that shows me he has a passion for the CAR. That is very important to me as a passionate owner.
    I haven't found anyone in the bay area that doesn't think he is the BEST...If you search other threads about "mechanic/norcal" you will find like 95% of posts are suggesting him unequivocally over any dealership in the bay...Just call him and talk to him personally and you will instantly trust that he is the man to take care of your baby- search those threads, and you will see....In fact search those threads and you'll never set foot in a dealer, except to buy...

    Brian, your 20 dollar check is late from the last round of kudos...

    steve, i will pile on concerning brian, for what your 360 needs this is a no brainer!! brian is BUSY, but your car will be in the most capable set of hands on the west coast. besides the technical expertise, his character is second to none that is the most important issue in my humble opinion, the ferrari community is rife with clowns, thiefs, etc..... him (brian and i ) were talking about this just the other day, it takes work to have the consistant quality brian deliveres everyday.

    Just spent a couple of hours with Brian today trying to work out an electrical problem on my F355. New to Ferrari cars, but I have been dealing with mechanics for years and Brian is the guy you want to use on your baby. Don't worry about the extra distance driving to his shop.
