Hi
Any recommendations for a trustworthy shop or person who I could pay to have a look over a early bay for us in the San Fran area
Cheers Ross

Took mine to buslab in Berkeley. It may be a few weeks before they can get you in, but they'll do a good job.

There's also Fred's in Redwood City.

+1 for Buslab. These guys are some serious air-cooled nerds and I've always taken my bus there for service. Not the cheapest solution, but certainly one of the top shops around.

Thanks for the reply guys-have not heard back from the seller yet ( he may not like selling to a Kiwi from New Zealand Very Happy ) buslab sounds good but the wait not so good, I think if the bus is any good it will properly sell first. If I hear from the seller I see how far he is from Fred's Garage in Redwood Cityand see if I can pay him to drop it off there for a lookover
Cheers
