Well, Sun Valley is a nice place, but way out of central or northern CA. I travelled down there to get a differential once, its only about a 6 hour drive each way (at 80 MPH on I5) from the San Francisco area, making a motel awfully desireable along the way. Foreigners don't realize that there is Southern CA and there is Northern CA, and they are both big places!
In San Jose there are several places, In case you didn't already know Pick N Pull on Commercial St. and Monterey Blvd (408 293-3613 and 408-452-1275) there is American Import on Leo St (see Amir) tel 408-275-9261 then there is the East Bay,
Pick Ur Part Milpitas tel 408-262-4500, European Wrecking in Newark 408-795-8910. And others (which I do not use)
I also recommend calling Acme in Santa Rosa if you want to go that far and they have something you can't find closer, tel 707-546-6816 or 415-457-6338, ask for Larry.
