Oliveria Engineering

My Alfa and I have been going to see Glenn Oliveria for over 10 years. Not only is Glen a great mechanic, but he knows Alfa’s better than anybody and always treats his clients fairly, honestly and with a healthy dose of wit and wisdom. My biggest concern is where will I go when he decides to retire in 2037.

Glenn Oliveria is considered by many Alfisti to be one of the finest Alfa Romeo mechanics in the bay area. Glenn is probably the nicest mechanic you will meet, with a great sense of humor. He will tell you what needs to be fixed and what doesn’t. If you are into racing, Glenn has many years of experience on the track. Watch for his red Giulietta Sprint at Sears Point during CSRG events.

Glenn Oliveria is the Master of Those Who Know classic Alfa Romeos.

Downturn in the market might mean that someone has Ebay’d their garaged 1959 Alfa Romeo Spider Giulietta. and YOU turn up as the WINNING BIDDER !!! Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Ninety-​Five (3795.00) dollars later, you learn that the engine needs rebuilding, the transmission’s second gear syncro is worn, it needs a new electrical harness and to make things even more startling crazy, parts are very hard to find. Where do you start? Oliveria Engineering in Berkeley California is all about ground up restoration of these kinds of cars. Get them to tow it in from virtually any location in the Bay Area, or have arrangements to get it shipped, and then the fun begins.
First line of order is determining the amount of needed restoration or making it a SCCA racer. Whichever route you take, you can be assured that this old school mechanics shop will get the engine restored, installed, gears corrected, wired and off you go, as the wind.
As an added note, always keep watching trends on cars like these. Restored, original will be long time treasures that are always worth the investment.
