Mechanic recommendations - SF Bay Area

Post by jeffrey »

I got my 1968 69S a year ago. I live just north of San Francisco and had taken the bike to Brent Hansen in Sebastopol - not far from me. Brent has moved to Oregon recently so that resource is gone.

I was planning to take the bike to Scottie's in Santa Clara and now I find out that Scottie's is moving as well. Doh!

Anybody have any recommendations for vintage service in the SF Bay Area?

Scottie has moved not that far. He still advertises pick up and delivery in the Bay area.

His shop will be 3 hours from where I live. I'd like something a bit closer if possible...

Up to you, for many, 3 hours to a good shop would be a dream. As I said, he is still advertising pick up and delivery. If you would consider paying the top rates for work there, what's a bit more for pick up and delivery?

Thank you. A 6+ hour round trip is not my "dream".

Jeff,

I highly recommend Greg Hutchinson in Redwood City, CA. https://airheadadventure.com Phone # listed is his cell.

Thanks, Chris. It looks like he does a lot of airhead work. Do you have experience with him working on pre-1970 bikes?
