I saw same questions on the board every once in a while looking for body shop, tint shop, etc. so I made this unofficial directory. I just list the ppl I normally deal with + browse the NorCal forums to come out with this list. Please add the place that you have visited and/or recommended to this list to share with us.
Jason, please sticky this.

Body Shop : White Oaks Auto Body ( Campbell ) 1.408.371.9112 ( Marin )

They did my Z, my last Z which is now his, and there is a Brickyard Z there right now. They also do all of the work for Los Gatos Ferrari (Silicon Valley Bently)

 

Good idea Chad

Bookmarked.

 

I do window tint, stereo and security.
The Ultimate Car Toys (Dublin) 925-828-7200 Kosta

cooks collision in dublin # is 925-828-7545 Gwen

 

body shop: Image Autobody (South San Francisco) (650)755-8324 contact:Phil

window tint/clear bra: Omega Tintwerks (Pleasanton) (don't know ph.#, but you can pm him: luckystrike) contact: Vincent

 

Actually- Stage Motorsports no longer exists- Strictly Z can still do basic bolt on's, but if you're looking for a good mechanic to dig into the guts of the Z I would recommend Z Car Garage.

Rob, the owner of Z Car Garage is formerly of Scott Performance. He's knows Z's of all years inside and out. (actually all Datsuns and Nissans). In fact his 510 is featured in Sport Compact Car this month. He also owns a 240, 300 and 350.

Z Car Garage is located at 140 Archer Street in San Jose (between 1st and 4th). Strictly Z is in the process of moving to the building next door so stop by and say hi.

Z Car Garage- 408-452-0350.

Chad- Hope you don't mind that I added them to your post.

 

Chad, please correct my name: Alan

Stereo & Security
1. Audiomobile (Oakland) - 510.839.1992 (Albert)

 

Got ya covered Al

 

Albert sounds cool

 

my bad Alan...I always call you big-Al
Jason, please edit my list if needed. I just want to combine everything here.

 

Jason,

What happened to Robert at Stage Motorsports?

Jared

 

I have a hookup on tinting, great job. PM me if you want.

 

Tires: Firestone San Mateo (ask for MOO) and let him know jeff from LA sent ya...

 

How about a PDR entry into the mix? Preferably the portable unit types, but shops would work too

 

For anyone thinking about using Z car garage. Don's think twice about it! They are AWESOME! One of the best shops I have ever gone to.

 

Told you man- Rob knows his stuff. And all the guys there (Rob, Dan and Rico) are not just mechanics/techs. They are all Nissan/Datsun enthusiasts!

 

Rob is hard core.. Z on the tooth and everything!

 

Anyone here ever had to fix dings on car doors/panels?

 

I did Brian... Had 2 Dings fixed the morning of the Santa Cruz Meet and then i got new dings the same day at Santa Cruz...

They guy did my hood dent and now you can't even tell it was ever hit by a boot

The rear quarter Left panel dent didnt come all out but he made it look better...

he only charged me $60 bucks for everything... (it was a group Dent Removal at Black Trax in Milpitas for the bayareaprelude.com folks...)

 

Coo' maybe we can add PDR's to the list now... I remember about that PDR you had on the SC meet day now... that's why you were late

The dings that you got on the SC day were from the lady that hit you on the way out of SC, right? Weren't those more like dents?
