It's worth the hassle. I've had Tony work on my S for the last 16 years. He stands behind his work unlike at least one of the shops mentioned. He is open some Saturdays and with an appointment can do most stuff in one day. (BIG BONUS, his shop rate is very reasonable.)

I definitely support Tony and his work. Any chance that white stripped down s2000 that's being built back to stock is yours?

No offense, but this is bullshit. I've heard enough from enough people and have enough personal experience to know that Alex and his shop are not worth my business. "Best" is just pure opinionated bullshit unless you count screwing with people's cars, blatant lying, and making sub-par parts "the best." You can see my review in this forum and ask around to find out more.

I have been going to Tony Fuchs pretty much for the last 12 years. He has done my clutch and a few other things items over the years. He never up-sells any services and stands behind his work. I highly recommend him and worth the drive to anyone in the southland. There is also a Enterprise rental car place about 10 minutes away, so you can rent cheap car for a day.

BTW, I agree with the others about Ballade. My one time experience with Ballade left me feeling a bit greasy.

My one time experience left me feeling misled.

I went to Tony Fuchs for a few years and had a ton of good work done, stopped going after Blacktrax in San Jose (moved there for a couple years) found a leaf in my valve cover gasket. Minor reason, probably, but details matter to me.

looking for a new shop since I moved back to SoCal (away from the valley), considering Chewerks, Evasive, and Mazdaspeed00

And what color? Hopefully you were able to remove the leaf.
