SF Bay Area Evo Specialists? Cheaper general shops that works on evos?

I been wondering, are there any shops that specializes in evos in SF Bay area?

Someone who knows the SST and could do the SST fluid and filter change, or the more advanced stuff about the engine / electronics?

And another question is are there any cheaper shops that works well with evos but for the minor stuff (oil change, tire rotation, spot checks of evo specific parts like the diff).

Or is it only going to be dealer only in these parts? If so which dealer has the best mechanical team?

I mean yeah, they would have shops that can do oil change and stuff, but would they know how to actually check the SST fluid levels / leaks?

Maybe diffs since there are many nice cars out here with those, but the SST is what I am worried about the most.

Twin clutch is not exactly normal even around here, and then this is not the European twin clutch but a Japaneses one...

Topshelf crap. If you actually enjoy your Evo and performance combined stay away. They go way back with locals.

Can you elaborate. I had nothing but positive experiences with WORKS when I lived in the bay area.
