Does anyone know a good local independent?

Hey does anyone know of a good independent shop in the So Cal area who works on Mini's? I need my control arm bushings changed and the one I use, although I really like them (All German Auto) they will only install OEM and I want to upgrade to the Powerflex.

EDIT: nevermind...Google is my friend. Just talked to SD Mini in Miramar and he's going to do it for only half the cost I was quoted at AGA.

Decided to a drive in Little Tujunga tomorrow. I'll be passing by Cruisers to check it out this Wednesday and be at Woodland Hills last Sunday of this month. I'll see you then.

Lolz! Sounds like a good time to go buzzing the interstate at retarded speed. Nah j/k! We have had to deal with freeway closures her Jax for the better part of the last 15 years while the work on I95 and it sucked but nothing on the level of what LA is like.
