Good Prius mechanic recommendation (SF Bay Area)?

I've recently purchased my first Prius (used 2012) and as it seems to have some issues which disturb me I'd like to take it to the mechanic. Could somebody please recommend a good one in the SF Bay Area? I've checked the history but the posts I could find are from 10 years ago, maybe somebody would be willing to share fresher info as I see so many Priuses on the streets here.

 

Thanks so much! I live in San Leandro so probably Berkley will work better but will check both as I occasionally go to SF by car (I work there but commute by Bart, the car is mostly for weekends).

Meetup sound awesome (as I am a DIY kind of person), I'll plan to join next time. Too bad it sounds like the next one is in October

The things I'd like to get a mechanic's opinion (or maybe just somebody DIY but experienced unlike me) are steering and brakes:
1. Brakes I think I've figured out: there is chirping noise sometimes and I think it is just an air in the brake system which I planned to bleed this weekend but the stock jack turned out to be too short for my jack stands so I will need to go get a floor jack first.

2. This one bothers me: steering. When I turn a steering wheel at low speeds or at still I feel (don't hear just feel with hands) some click when I let the steering wheel go after turning it. Maybe it is normal after all and I just made this click up because I've looked at some recommendations from this forum on lower ball joints, CV joints, intermediate shaft and nothing looks (visually) broken or leaking oil and all the rubber things are intact. So I thought I would get an opinion from somebody experienced.

Btw, the lift looks awesome, I'd love to have one like that at home, it is golden for DIY kind of guys

PS. My car is 2012 Prius V with 91k miles.

 

Thanks so much for your recommendations folks! I'll DM @Raytheeagle , maybe I can get an appointment.

 

Nope, the sound comes from the area around brake booster. I haven't looked at brake pads yet (missing jack yet but the seller said he was driving mainly on highways (which is likely, judging by the minimal wear of rotors). Also, about a minute after turning off ignition something seems to turn off in the same area and this is when I also hear that sound. The sound doesn't come always though. And lastly, when it happens I can feel with my foot like there is something vibrating in the brake pedal which makes me also think it is around brake booster and this is why I think of the air (because the sound doesn't come all the time).

Mine is a wagon (Three trim) We came from Europe about a year ago and I got spoiled there with station wagons which I fall in love with for their versatility and good gas mileage. That's why I got Prius V and so far it is amazing. If I would have to build car on my own I couldn't build anything better

 

Yes, it was a private party sale but I did check all the recalls and found none.

Yes, when I open the door I hear the humming sound and I figured it is normal but the sound that bothers me is different. It is more like rattling sound and it happens sometimes when I press the brake pedal or in a minute after I switch off the ignition and something sounds like turning off—that's when I also hear it sometimes.
