The Service Mgr at Sunnyvale Ford said they service Quigleys. He told me they use to sell Quigleys (although I have never ever seen them there). Anyways, I plan on bringing mine there for its next service (@75K). I'll let you know how it goes.

Troy at Superior Four Wheel Drive in San Jose knows his stuff. He's been working on my 2000 EB50 PSD Quigley 4x4. He's rebuilt the front hubs/bearings twice (he's a Warn dealer) and he's done the Full Float Dana 60 LS rear diff on my van (among other things). He's a straight shooter, knows his stuff and charges a fair price for his labor. He also stands behind his work. He's in San Jose near 87 and Capitol. Give him a ring at 408.448.8585

Doesn't anyone here know of a reputable 4x4 shop in the SF Bay??? I know that 4wheelparts has a service center in San Jose but haven't used them.
I am currently in the process of using a 4x4 shop in Cotati. I will post the results (good or bad) once the work is completed.
Jeep Speedshop in Cotati Owners name is Todd
It's a small shop specializing in Jeeps but many of the parts are the same as in our SMBs. Atlas, Dynatrac, Warn, etc. This shop was recommended to me by Dynatrac.
Once we got all the correct parts ordered he got right on it and finished on time. Went out of his way to explain everything to me and made sure I would be happy. I won't hesitate to use him again. Oh yeah, he came in substantially under his own estimate.

Hi All,
Went to Redline Motorsports, as listed above, in San Carlos [***CORRECTION: Burlingame, right next to the Caltrain station***]. Small shop, and they seemed to know what they were doing (which was good, since I don't know a damn thing...).
Shop fees, cost for doing the bearing job on the front wheels/hubs, and re-torquing or something like that for the leaf springs was a total of $120. Also, something had broken in one of the hubs (they needed some kind of special screw for the WARN system) and that came in at no charge.
I'd definitely go to them again. That seemed very fair and reasonably priced.
-Ken

I too an in the process of getting work done on my 4x4 sporty. I am using Jeepspeed up in Cotati. Todd the owner comes highly recommended. I will follow up later in the week when the service is done. Initial impression is spot on!

Follow up on Jeepspeed up in Cotati, CA. I had some work done on the sporty and I wanted to follow up with you guys and let you know that the service was STELLAR and he came in well under estimate. Todd the owner is very familiar with the sportsmobile and is an amazing diesel mechanic. I could not be more pleased with the service and support we got from them. A+ http://jeepspeed.com/ Travis
