Re: Trustworthy/Good Electrical Work In Santa Clarita, CA?

When I lived in the SCV around the early 00's, the shops that even would look at a classic were near non existent...

Only luck I had with a shop that actually knew how to work on old stuff up there, was an auto body shop on Sierra Hwy.

Sierra Paint & Body
(661) 251-9018
17528 Sierra Hwy
Santa Clarita, CA 91351


Stop in there and talk to the owner or his Dad.
Couple a good guys, and they may be able to point you in the right direction.

You interested in coming down to Temecula to figure out a electrical bug I have in my burb? Serious though... I could actually drive to you. Just have a turn signal/hazards issue.

Thanks all, If I can't find a local shop, I may just have to take someone up on that offer.

I am basically trying to get all the gauges working (ammeter, fuel... Currently it has the pig tail cheap aftermarket under dash temp gauge (I purchased the engine sensor...I even purchased two different resistors because when I took the cluster out, two of the gauges had them...don't have a clue...)

Anyway, keep those ideas local shops...rolling in, I seriously appreciate it! Roger

You might try the guy's at Redline Gauges.They went through my cluster and made sure everything was working and accurate.They are mostly Mopar guy's but they know gauges.They are in the little house on Sierra Hwy.between the Chevron stn. and the cemetery right there at San Fernando rd. or as they call it now Newhall rd.Good luck: Bob

Thanks! I have checked out their website before. They look like they do great work but you know you better have some bucks. I appreciate your advise, I may call to see what they charge...(by the hour/book or estimate the task...). Not sure if they do trucks but probably worth the call. I recall driving around looking for where they were located...I actually live only a couple of miles from them. Roger

There used to be an auto electric shop over off of 13th street behind the motorcycle shop but I'm not sure if it's still there.I drive by it every day going over to my dad's but never pay any attention.If you go to Redline ask for Jerry he's a friend of my son and his girlfriend.He worked on my gauges and he just picked up a 67 long bed.

Re: Trustworthy/Good Electrical Work In Santa Clarita, CA?

Thanks man! I just drove by today looking...and was wondering if it was one as you go over the tracks near Master's College/Placerita Canyon. I may just go with your advise about Red Line. There is a Kiwi motors on what used to be San Fernando...I see some older Red Chevelle that's been tubbed...and other older cars and trucks so I may stop by there to get a feel for who they are...(check reviews online as well). Thanks again! Roger
