Good Guys "Summer Get Together"

Gearhead was back at Pleasanton last weekend for the Good Guys Show "Summer Get-Together"

We brought Mike Provencher's 1967 Pro Touring Camaro, Cameron's 1972 Super Bee Charger, and John Berkshire's 1967 Camaro Convertible.

New Shop Manager has rolled in to Gearhead Garage!

When Jason asked me to write a blog about myself I will admit, I was concerned! Over the course of the past 20 years I have written training manuals, fire and life safety procedures, short stories, screenplays, etc., but NEVER about myself! So in a nutshell, I come to Gearhead with experience in many fields Business Owner/Operator, Automotive Repair & Refinishing, Facilities Manager, Commercial Building Maintenance, Landscape Design & Construction, Graphic Design, and all around Handyman!

My name is Paul Poms and my arrival at Gearhead was apparently long overdue. Jason has been running around like an engine with his air cleaner cut off trying to serve the needs of all the customers that bring their vehicles to this amazing and unique shop. Please feel free to stop in and say "Hello", and get ready for many new changes including regular updates to the website and blog site! Looking forward to meeting you all!

Good Guys Show: 28th Annual All American Get-Together!

Had a great turn out at the Good Guys Show in Pleasanton this past March! Plenty of amazing cars including the 1969 Chevelle pictured here which we won the "Snap-On Innovation Award" for! The car is featured in the June issue of the Goodguys Goodtimes Gazette on page 164 as well.

SEMA Show 2009

We are getting settled back into the swing of things after attending another awesome SEMA show! Wow, there are some very impressive builders and creations out there. As you might know or can imagine, everyone goes all out for this event.

We were invited to display our newly completed Pro Touring 1969 Camaro RS Convertible for the guys at Custom Auto Sound--we were thrilled for the compliment as well as the opportunity to get Gearhead's name out there on the national stage.

Jimmy's Old Car Show and Picnic in SF

For years we have been trying to get down to this event! Jimmy's Annual Picnic and Car Show in Golden Gate Park is held this weekend at SpeedWay Meadows (how fitting)...And finally we're going! Going on 21 years, this event is an institution and is held practically in our backyard from where we (Jason and Robyn) grew up--so it's particularly ridiculous that we haven't participated in it sooner.

This show is supposed to be really fun because it is casual and has a unique San Francisco flavor--can't explain--you just know it when you're there. We'll be driving the red 68 Camaro RS/SS convertible and the baby blue 62 Nova SS convertible down to the bay for a little show n' shine SF style! There is going to be a lot going on in the city this weekend, but if you're in the area come by--the picnic is held this Sunday 10/11 from sunrise to sunset...

Shop Dog

After many wonderful years, and more games of fetch than we dare to count, our shop dog Lars, has passed on. He was a great dog and he enjoyed his role at the shop as well as the appreciation and attention our employees showered him with on a daily basis. He was a very reliable guy who we enjoyed greatly--Lars will be missed!

We are excited announce and welcome Lars' successor, Diesel! This BIG BOY is an amazing powerhouse of a dog. This guy is a beast. Diesel is a 1.5 year old Rottweiler weighing over 110lbs and is nothing to think twice about. We know our customer's cars are safe with him patroling the premises!
