“I am the owner of a Ferrari 355 Spider convertible with a failed potentiometer, Ferrari part #64978300. This part is a poorly made part of a safety system designed to prevent thousands of dollars of convertible top damage and to prevent the top from taking off your head. This part is not available anywhere on this planet and if you are a 355 Spider owner, you might have have done many unsafe workarounds to defeat this system. I fought with Ferrari for years and even made an NHTSA complaint that is on file. After five years I was about to give up but someone, I can't remember who, told me about O.D.D. Parts in Sonoma California. I called Jim, the proprietor, or more aptly, the artist and he informed me he created a fix for this impossible to find part. As he is just one and a half hours north of me, I decided to visit him personally and enjoy a day in beautiful Sonoma County. Then came the pandemic and one and a half hours became one and a half years. I finally visited his amazing workshop that is literally in an artists enclave and saw many of the parts he has rebuilt, refurbished or fabricated for many classic and exotic cars including multi-million dollars cars shown in Concours de Elegances. To say I was impressed is inadequate as these parts were all re-engineered better than new. He fixed my potentiometer on the spot for an extremely reasonable price, even more so when I am aware I can't get this part anywhere on the planet at any cost. When he was done we were given a golf cart tour of the property and neighboring artists and what started out as a part repair became a delightful adventure. We also visited with Jim's protege, Matt, and it is comforting to know that the art of automotive part fabrication will be passed to another generation. I just finished installing the Ferrari part #64978300 into the seat and replaced the seat in the car and everything works perfectly and as it should. I could not be more pleased. While Jim does work fabricating parts for rare classic cars all over the world, not everybody lives in Northern California and will be as fortunate as I to visit his artist's workshop in beautiful Sonoma but if you have a broken potentiometer in your Ferrari 355 spider, he's just a shipment away. He put an end to my five year nightmare and maybe he can put an end to yours too. Be sure to check O.D.D. Parts out.”
“For those who are mechanically-inclined, have you ever done your own brakes and in doing so changed out the hoses, hardware, clean, and resurface rotors if needed? Then after a job well done (takes us normals a day job on this), you start up your engine and press down on the brake pedal for the first time and it feels like a plush cloud? That is called TLC and that is what it's like when Gary takes your truck in and hands it back to you.There's a reason why people with Cruisers and beyond call Gary and co. from out-of-state for setups, lifts, and repairs. These guys are the real deal and I could tell this from the first conversation I had with Gary. There is no frills and only a complete dedication to doing your vehicle right by you. Few places (outside industries included) practice honor, integrity, and doing good for its own sake but Gary and the guys absolutely do.My experience was with my FJ that needed a lift adjustment after another shop made a few mishaps but given how much demand Gary has, you can see just how many 'Yota chassis and powertrain they know inside and out. If you want a go-to for life, look no further”
“This is a great repair shop. I had a door replaced over a year ago and had some refinishing needed on an interior panel. I thought I might have passed any warranty time but CARSTAR didn't question it and made the repair quickly, including the replacement of the rear bumper per my request. Friendly, professional and pleasant to deal with.”

I had work complete by G&C in Santa Rosa but was in Sonoma and had a small fix for my Lexus. Kevin looked at my car and fixed one size but need a Lexus part. Kevin on his personally time picked up the part in Santa Rosa and make sure his team in Sonoma knew I would be coming in to have the part installed. The commitment to customer services and stepping out and not making me drive to Santa Rosa was very much appreciated. To learn work completed by G&C Auto Body is guaranteed for life as long as you own your vehicle is best, I have heard in the industry. Highly recommend G&C Auto Body.”
“WOW!! Cris and Rudy are top notch!!
Integrity, friendly, fair, professional and highly skilled. I wish I knew the woman’s name that scheduled my appointment, she is friendly, considerate and helpful!
A large redwood branch hit and damaged the passenger front fender, and paint chip. Car is 9 years old, a little aesthetic damage I could live with, but this was a medium size dent. To replace the part/paint was more than I wanted to spend. Cris offered for Rudy to take a look, maybe he could pop it out, apply a little touch up paint. Rudy did amazing work, hardly noticeable, I’m so pleased! I will be a customer forever!!
Thank you, Adriana”
