Service & Repairs

Following Donn Garriott's retirement in March 2001, his long-time colleague Peter Koine continues to work on Citroëns. His garage is in the building next to Donn's old garage in South San Francisco (415-239-2208), but he also works at other sites, including owners' homes, and he is thus most easily reached by cell phone (415-378-2361). His e-mail address is pkoine@msn.com
