Default Looking for trustworthy mechanic in Sacramento

I'm buying a car for the first time and I'd appreciate a recommendation for a mechanic in the Sacramento area that could look at the car before I buy it. I've been looking at late 90's 4-cyl Subaru wagons. Thank you!

Why'd they change their name?

Not as close, but I like Equilibrium Tuning in Fairfield.

Long story, but Paul started up a race team called FW Motorsports, and was originally planning on keeping DBTuned around as the tuning side of the business.

Then, he decided to go all in as FW Motorsports.

In Paul's own words

Quote:
I've been asked by many, "What does FW Motorsports mean?"
Simply put: "FW" = "Foxtrot Whiskey" = Fallen Warrior.
