Service location recommendations California

[Pete Masterson]

I used an independent shop in Walnut Creek CA for an oil change,
lube, etc. They did ok, but overfilled my power steering reservoir
and that made a bit of a mess in the engine compartment. I did an oil/
filter change on the generator myself. I'd have had the shop do it,
but the fan motor was being rebuilt at the time, so you couldn't
start the generator without the fan.

If CCW were closer to Northern California -- or if I were passing
closer to CCW when a service was needed. I'd be very inclined to use
them. I understand that CCW does routine service on Blue Birds but is
not overly promoting that to avoid upsetting Holland Motors in San
Diego.
