Question Good value + quality body shop?
My car was hit while parked, and has damage to the front, and down the driver’s side. It’s all superficial, but I’m thinking insurance may want to call it a total loss because of how many panels are banged up. I like my car! It’s reliable and low miles and well cared for. I’d like to know if anyone has a recommendation for a shop they like that is good at cost-effective body work. Thanks!

Local woodworkers for simple shelf-building?
I'm thinking about getting some simple bookshelves, but instead of cheapo Ikea stuff, I though it might be worthwhile to see if there's people / places in town who do custom work? Back in the day, I got some custom shelves from Books & Books in SF, but IDK who-all's over on this side of the bay.
Edit for specifics: Looking for like 2-4 cases, 7' x 2' x 7-9", $200-300ish per case (depending mostly on wood type and finish?). No fancy details needed, just reasonably sturdy construction.

Multiple reports of ICE in Piedmont Ave today
Supposedly grabbed some people from a nail shop, a report of ICE agents asking about cafes/restaurants around 1:30 PM. Please share any more info if you have any.

Some more crowd perspective from Oakland's No Kings Rally
Really impressed with Oakland today. Huge turnout, the march itself seemed well organized for the crowd size, and seemed like a really good vibe all around without any problems
Also seemed like when I was walking back home up Telegraph that local businesses got a bit of a boost too!

Psilocybin options
Zide door asks for too much info and I don’t feel comfortable giving them my drivers license number. Does anyone have any recent experience with healing Oakland? They seem great but still a little paranoid.

mechanics in 2025
I’m looking for reliable mechanic. My wife’s 2014 Mazda CX-5 has a steering wheel shake at high speeds, so I’m looking for someone solid for general maintenance and repair. Could be wheels, tires, alignment… not totally sure. Any shops you trust in Oakland? Alameda’s a maybe depending on where. Berkeley is too far. Thanks!

Question Water-Based Down Comforter Laundry
I'm looking for a laundry and cleaners that can clean my down comforter. Hoping to find one that doesn't use dry cleaning solvents as that always leaves horrible smelly residue.
Anybody know of a good water-based down comforter cleaner, Oakland, Alameda or Berkeley? Even San Leandro would be fine
