Default Good s2k Mechanics In SoCal?

Been noticing this slight clicking noise (video below) and was wondering if anyone here has or knows a good s2000 mechanic in the area. I'm in corona but willing to travel a bit.

Clicking noise is most prominent in the first few seconds of the video, but persists throughout

Original owner since 2001 and Tony has been the only guy to ever work on my car besides myself. Knows the s2000 like no other car.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I will call them up and check out prices and what not. I want to have my entire valvetrain and TCT inspected and repaired before it gets even more noisy or if there is a broken retainer or any other problems. (Just read a thread where someone broke a retainer after 15,000 miles...I've got 70,000)

EDIT: I think i'll be going to Ballade Sports in Garden Grove. I'm there nearly every weekend, and the multiple reviews for s2000 work is really reassuring.
