Default Shop to shave fender in Bay Area?

Any one knows of a good, reputable shop around the Bay Area that can do fender shaving? I rub a bit when making left turn.

Thanks for all your help.

John is a helpful guy, he helped me find out why my CEL was on after a drive in the Berkeley Hills...

Thanks guys. Glen can do that? Too bad he's busy, or I'll have him to it.

I didn't know John will do that as well. I'll give him a call.

Really? I never tried it before. I'm not that good with tools myself. Or I don't have the proper tools to do it. Hmm....

Why do you need to shave your fenders Lucian? Did you get yet another set of wheels?

Brian, no, still the same old wheels.

Come to think of it and just checking it when I get home from work today, there is really no way I can rub. I look at the rear fender and I don't see any sign of rubbing.

I'm going to ask John to take a drive and see where the noise is coming from.

Hopefully I can get rid of that and enjoy driving it.

here's a small video of Neo doing the shaving for his dubs out in the rear.

Someday, we'll have a full how-to guide on LGW but for now hope this video helps some folks who are daring enough to try on their car....
