I'm a newbie and just purchased my first speedster replica. It's 4 years old with just 600 miles on it. Built by Vintage Speedsters in Hawaiian Gardens, CA. Can I get some recommendations for a good mechanic in South Orange County, CA? Thanks!

Jon - I'm in irvine and I've always taken my VS to a shop in Mission Viejo, Unique Imports (near intersection of Jeronimo & Alicia Parkway). They are pretty good guys and have always taken good care of my car. The owner, Chip, is a friend of mine. Let him know I sent you and they'll hook you up!
Contact Chip @ Unique Imports, 25800 Jeronimo Rd, MV, (949) 951-5201
The other option is a fellow SOCer by the Name of Larry Jowdy. Larry is top-notch and can diagnose and fix whatever ails your car. He has dialed-in many SOCer cars and is located in Ontario (San Bernardino co). Bit of a drive, but worth the expertise. I don't have his number but a 'Search' on here will help.
Keep an eye on the 'Events' thread for upcoming cruises for SoCal/OC SOC group.
Thank you! I actually talked to Chip right before I saw your post. i Had called some mechanics in the area and they pointed me to him as well. Thanks for the recommendation!
Cool! hope we can meet up at one of our local cruises.
BTW- you may, or may not know about the weekly car gathering in Irvine, Cars & Coffee. It happens 07:00 every Saturday morning (rain or shine) at the Ford Design building next to the Spectrum (405 & 5 junction). You should drive your car there sometime to check out the cool cars that show up.
I'll post a link when I get a chance later this afternoon.
Hey Jon! Here's a link for info on the Cars & Coffee meet that takes place every Saturday morning in Irvine (rain or shine) beginning at 07:00. Directions are on the first page of photos. Maybe we'll see you there some time? Peace-Out!
