As REF (Rick) mentioned, a map was created in Google to help congregate all things relative to Sportsmobiles. The list was created by searching the forums old and new for mechanics, so please call beforehand to verify that the specific shop still works on SMB's...

From the map - SMB mechanics in SoCal [the (diesel) means that they should be able to work on diesel engines in a van]:
Buds Diesel (diesel)
East County Diesel (diesel)
Diesel Doctor (diesel)
Tuttle Clicks Capistrano Ford
Mike Nelson (diesel)
South Bay Car Care
Ultimate Truck Performance (diesel)
Airport Auto Repair
Taragano's Auto Diesel (diesel)
Higher Ground Fab & Off-road
Fairview Motors Brakes & Alignment
4 Wheel Drive & Fabrication

I've had Brian service my F350, E350 and now my EB350 SMB for many years. they do everything incl larder commercial trucks and cars (did my ex-gf's Lexus years back). He's as honset and reliable as they come, will not sell you crap you don't need, will always see the best possible part is used and will also work with your custom stuff like adding an aftermarket upgrade like we do often w vehicles like this...unless he thinks its something unreliable / unsafe.

Hubert @ South Bay Car Care in Lawndale has many SMB clients and does very good work at a fair price. I have been using him for 14 years.

X 2 on Tuttle Clicks Capistrano Ford for 6.0. There is a fellow there Spencer that’s the best and the Manager I’m told owns one. Pricey but reliable
