Looking for good SoCal shop

[HLBlanton]

My '71 280SL runs great. But after decent mechanical work being finished, it needs to have some fiddly work that was omitted done. This includes having the header levers reinstalled, the odo fixed or replaced, the mechanics of the soft-top adjusted, replacing visors, etc. The car is in the Coachella Valley (Palm Springs) and no one in the valley seems good at this. But I'm in So Cal so I figure there must be a decent shop in the LA/OC/San Diego area.  Can anyone recommend someplace who is not put off by this kind of work?

I am looking for the same, Steve Marx of Marx Mercedes comes highly recommended in Costa Mesa, Orange County.

I am also looking into Coastline Imports in Santa Ana who look to have serviced several Pagodas according to their yelp page.

Unfortunately I do not have direct experience of either shop yet.

I highly recommend Marvin's Automotive in Pasadena.
They specialize in pagodas and offer full mechanical and partial or full restoration. I've used Marvin many times on my cars since 2008.
Tell Marvin that Greg recommended him to you.
