Looking for Fiat mechanic long beach/San Diego

[CoupeFan]

This appeared in my email box this morning, maybe someone can help them:

1980 a Fiat Spider 2000

Per the above referenced, can you refer me to a mechanic that could service my Fiat in Long Beach or San Diego, CA. The vehicle has been maintained through the years, is in good running condition and I would like to start minor detailing toward restoration. The engine seems strong, passes smog check with ease, but leaks. I assume new gaskets would do the trick, but not opposed to rebuild, if necessary. Five speed transmission probably needs rebuild. Pops out of 2nd gear with any back pressure. Forward is fine. Stick shift could be smoother.

I am not equipped, nor wish to do work on my own.

Thanks for any help you could offer.
