Timing belt/WaterPump mechanic in bay Area

I have 01 TL with 112K + miles and need to get my Timing Belt + Water Pump etc and 105 K Service.

I recently lost my job and I know my "TIMING" is not right ...

But this needs to be done...

Anyone know any good mechanic ho does a good job and does not overcharge me ..

I live in South Bay(Sunnyvale, MtnView, Santa Clara) California.

Please help me guys !

tell him Brandon referred you.

i've been going to winston for about two years now..and he's done pretty much every service and helped me get back on the right track as far as maintenance goes. other members on here have been going to him too (chris8oi is the one who referred me to Winston and i've been sending people over to him since then)

I've known John & Sandy for over 15 years. He has worked on almost all my cars at some point.

PM is private message but i'm not sure if you can since you are still new. just give Winston a call for a quote and tell him we (brandon or chris) sent you. he's done tons of work on my CL over the last couple years..major and minor service as well as installs for misc. parts. he's honda certified and uses genuine honda parts. so just give him a call.

Thanks !

I need the 105K service (includes timing belt/waterpump/crankseals/spark plugs/airfilter/ etc.)

What parts (OEM ) etc will they put ?

Pls ask him to be the lowest as I have no job right now and I have a family to support.

Thanks

Thanks for the support WDP haven't heard from you in awhiles =)
Winston is also a ASE Certified Tech... You can do a "SEARCH" and you will find WDP415 post he put up pictures... I didn't take much myself but yeah let me know...He has also worked on show cars, turbo, body kits, type-s conversions for the TL, s/c, suspension...One car he helped built made it to import tuner...
