service shop after warranty in Bay Area

Anybody knows a good one? I am living in Foster City.

I might need to visit one. I can't start the car after bleeding the coolant...

It turned out to be a weak battery. The battery was not dead. The lights went on and radio was working, but not enough to start the car. This made believe it was something else.

I went to Ren Motorsports in San Mateo with another car and described the problem. The owner lend me his battery jump starter and ask to jump start. I did it even though I had doubt.

He was right.

I drove the car to his shop. He checked the battery and told me I did not have to change the battery right away but it is going weak (It is seven years old). I decided to change it anyway. Price was good compared to my internet search of the same battery (Interstate).

Overall I am very happy with his service and honesty. I can't say about other types of service though.
