Default ..Any SoCal Shops recommendations?

SoCal Members,

I just recently purchased an 08 Deluxe and am looking for a Reputable and Honest shop/shops that does exceptionalwork and treats our H-Ds with'loving' care. I have taken my bide to Laidlaws,Baldwin Park and Ican say that I am quite content with them. However, they won't install or perform custom work.

Can you SoCalers'give your recommendations..I am a very meticulous H-D newbie owner and just want quality - no mickey mouse - work!!

Cheers

Try http://www.cyclevisions.com/

It's a bit of a ride for you, but they are one of the best in the San Diego area. They will do almost anything custom and are just all around great and reasonable people.

Thanks Dago...I don't mind the ride just as long as they take care of my HOG with extra care and detail when doing work.

These guys do good work! They are a small shop with a quick turn around. They are in North County San Diego.

P.S. I agree Laidlaws' does do great dealer/ warrantywork. I take mine to Horn's for the custom stuff.
