Thanks Ben, I replied but will also post here as a pseudo update. An AB Brother David out East is working to make some calls to the local SoCal guys and hopefully there will be someone closer to the San Diego or LA area - I'm smack dab between them on Pacific Coast Hwy.
Nothing for sure as of yet, but I will of course keep posting updates.
I'd just hate to have someone drive that far if it might be done closer in a garage. But as I said in the PM just knowing people are genuinely willing to go that far to help means a lot.
So thank you all. By the responses here from those who remember me and wish me well, I am confident the Brotherhood will be able to lend a hand. And that's an amazing feeling. Really is.
