Walnut Blasting in the Bay Area

Car has about 41k right now. Last 2k has been all short, stop and go drives around the city. I've felt rough idles at times, but not consistently. Would you guys recommend getting a walnut blast done at this time or is it a bit early.

If so, anyone know of any good reputable shops that can do a walnut blast? Preferably in SF, or Bay Area.

Thanks

I'd definitely recommend a walnut blast. Hit up Mindovaanything. He is a local guy who does walnut blasting, and he does a great job.

Thanks for the referral Drew

I'd be more than happy to do walnut blasting for you guys, I've done a few friends' and their friends' cars and I charged them $250 plus the intake manifold gaskets which you can supply or depending on interest I wouldn't mind buying a few sets to have on hand. I've got one fresh box of shells at my place ready to go right now and not . Just PM me and we'll schedule a time to get it done.

If anyone wants to do it themselves, they can borrow my HF blaster, wand, wet vac adapter, and throw in a few bucks for the walnut shells. I would do it for you or help out but it's just tough to find time with all the family commitments I have going on. You can even borrow my little compressor.
