South Bay (San Jose area) service recommendations

That's the thing about mechanics, everyone will have a different opinion (especially if the customer has unrealistic expectations like so many do). That being said, I know a number of folks who go to Roselli in San Jose and are quite happy, whereas I've know some folks who won't go there:

I've also heard good things about and know a couple of folks who go to Grand Prix Motors in Cambpell, but again, I also know folks who won't go there:

I've met the owners of both of those shops and spoke with them at length when I lived in that area. I liked them both and they seemed like good guys. The only one I have experience with is Dany at Dino Motors in San Mateo. When I lived in that area, I used to take my car there exclusively. Really solid mechanics, and very - very good with the 308s. If I still lived in the area, that's where I'd still be going.

If you want to branch out a little further, there's San Rafael European in (obviously) San Rafael. I have several friends who won't go anywhere but there:

There's also the top-dollar, best-in-the-business shop, that I've heard is about six-months out on scheduling appointments. But you can't get better than Patrick Ottis (just be ready to seriously pay for it):

And my mechanic is now Rico at Valtellina Automobili in Sonoma, and I have nothing but praise for his work.

That's another big problem with Ferrari mechanics in the South Bay area, they're usually booked out for months. Dino Motors is pretty good at getting you in quick, I never had any issues getting reasonably scheduled there.

 

I sent a PM. My recommendations are based on over 35 years in the Ferrari business in the Bay Area.
There is a great deal I will not say unless face to face but have a long list of very good reasons for what I did say.
Competence and ethics are paramount. And there is a dire shortage of both. The rest is just BS.

 

Johannes, is best person

 

Is Johannes even fixing cars anymore? I know he sold his shop.

 

Oh no, this is bad news but thank you for updated

 

Johannes sold the shop to Dany, who is quite capable. That's who I had been taking my car to regularly until I moved away from the area. That being said, Johannes is still there! He works on cars, but mainly only the things he wants to work on (which are usually carb'd 308s).
