99 S70 - need a trusted mechanic in SoCal Costa Mesa.

My son has our '99 S70 in Costa Mesa, California. I'm looking for a trusted mechanic who can diagnose and repair what we think is an oil leak coming from somewhere near the front crank.

Who would you recommend in that area?

He's tried three mechanics, and they all said the vehicle is too old for them to work on.

Thanks in advance.

Someone in Orange County must have an Indy in their book?

Quick Google:

Not sure if these are places your son has already tried.

Not in OC but I've had good experience with Nino's in Santa Monica:

Still trying to find a recommendation for something closer to the Costa Mesa area, but I'll keep this one in mind for the future. You never know when or where you'll need a trusted mechanic.

Thank you!

Robert Spinner is headed for California at some point soon, try reaching out to him. His email and cell are both on his website and in the comment section of his videos.
