Bringing Her Back To Life - Need a shop in Los Angeles area

I put my 93 500E in the garage 14 years ago and Haven’t started it since and I want to bring her back to life. I’m in the Los Angeles area. Does anybody know of a good reputable shop where I can take her?
 
Sounds like a fun project! Can you do any work yourself, or will you be paying a shop? Could be a bit pricey. After 14 years you'll probably want to drain the fuel tank completely, then put in about 2-3 gallons of fresh gas, and try to fire it up. There's a decent chance you may need to replace some or all of the fuel system hoses in the rear of the car, possibly the pumps as well - details here.

BTW - welcome to the forum!

If Santa Monica is not too far you, I would recommend Malibu Motors. They have been taking care of my 500E for the past 12 years. They also have other 036 customers. Ask for Henry.
