Moving to Oakland from East Coast

Hello Everyone,

I'm moving with my family to Crocker Highlands, Oakland, this August. I'm looking for a pediatrician, gynecologist, family doctor and dentist. 

I'm also looking for a reliable car mechanic.

Is there some website where I can get some guidance on how to set up my house so it's earthquake proof (as much as possible)?

Thanks in advance!

Hi

I'm moving from Brooklyn to El Cerrito in August and would love to know the answers to those questions, too! Many thanks!

Hands down the best car mechanic is Torchio's on Webster in Oakland. I've never been over-charged, the service is top-shelf, and the owner is a good guy who treats his employees well. Get this: at most service shops the service writer makes a commission on every added service he can talk you into. At Torchio's, no one makes a commission. Tell them I sent you.
