I am posting this as a correction to my earlier incorrect posts about attorneys in small claims court in California. The OP is correct in that an attorney cannot represent a corporation (outside of specific instances that do not apply here) in small claims court. My apologies for the earlier incorrect information...it's been a long day and my back hurts.
ETA: The corporation must be represented by an employee or officer who has not been hired solely to represent the party in the action. If the shop happens to have an attorney who moonlights as a repair tech, then the attorney could go to court, but he can't be hired solely for that purpose.
