Default Good General Mechanic Near Huntington Beach?

Hi there,

My car is acting up, and I just called Ryne but unfortunately he is busy for quite a few weeks (good for him!!). I need a competent shop to do a full cooling system diagnosis as well as a full pressured flush and refill. Do you guys know of any shops very local to huntington beach you wouldn't be afriad to take your car to? I would do just a drain and refill but my ar overheated and all the fluid came out and I only had a temporary solution which was bottled water, which i know is a nono for this car. I appreciate any help. Also, if anyone wants to help me diagnose potentially what could be a poor fuel issue, i offer up some beers! I will end up having Ryne do a full once-over on my 2000 C5 A4, but until then, I need to fix my cooling system! Thanks for any help!

Try to see if Steve LuVisi of Automotive Expertise in Huntington Beach can get it done for you. He usually also has a waiting list. Steve is one of the best Corvette mechanics (bar none) and has the best rates. There are many on this forum who will not take their Vette anywhere else.

I strongly second that recommendation.
