With Tesla SF Bay Area Roadster service moving to San Rafael while so many of us are down in the peninsula, does anyone know of a Roadster service professional that is offering mobile service?

SF Bay Area Roadster Mobile Service?

Oh, come on: PA to SR is 50 miles - you can have AAA tow it there and back for free if you can’t be bothered to drive! (Way to perpetuate the stereotype of the soft, spoiled, entitled Californian. 
)
The distance and drive time are less of an issue than Tesla not adequately provisioning their service and parts departments, leading to some absurdly long backlogs on the order of months to YEARS. It’d be one thing if they were *consolidating* roadster support for greater efficiency, etc: instead, they’re just reducing it.
As far as I’m aware, SR still has only a single Roadster tech on staff - he’s solid, and doing the best he can, but one tech isn’t enough to support the dozens (hundreds?) of Roadsters still in Northern California.
A sunset of first-party support would likely mean an end to parts availability and replacement batteries, which would have much larger implications for the Roadster ecosystem.
Tesla’s failure to adequately devote resources to training and retaining techs has already led to a serious brain drain; it’ll be far harder (and more expensive) to rebuild that expertise than it would have been to maintain and cultivate it.
To get to your question, though: maybe @MaverickXV? I know @CM_007 (Carl Medlock) comes down here on an occasional basis as well.
(Might help to specify what service you’re looking for - a checkup, annual service, troubleshooting, etc.)
