Looking for an A4 mechanic in Long Beach, CA

[heyflyboy]

I'm about to pull the trigger on a rebuilt MMI A4 and I'm searching for an experienced, knowledgable, reliable A4 mechanic in the vicinity of Long Beach, CA to do the R&R. Can any of you give me a recommendation based on prior personal experience or that of a friend? I'd prefer someone with at least a small shop though it's not a deal breaker. If you've had a bad experience with anyone in particular I'd like to hear about that too. Thanks in advance. Rob

I don't know a pro, as I don't generally let em work on my boat. (Although I've seriously thought about becoming a marine electrician, I've rewired a bunch of boats)

But, I'm in socal (live in Mission Viejo, boat's in Dana), am a pretty good mechanic, and am very familiar with the engine. I'd be willing to help you out if you want. If so, let me know - PM me or something.
