can anyone recommend a shop in Antelope Valley, CA?

Greetings!
It has been a while since I posted anything, sorry for the absence. Also I was not completely sure where to post this, so please let me know if the thread needs to get moved to another category.

I am looking for any recommendations for a Mini-friendly shop in the Antelope Valley (in California). I live in Lancaster and my closest Mini dealer is in Universal City of Los Angeles. Basically a 50 mile drive. I have really been needing to get my brake fluid flushed and replaced and the lines checked. I just hit 60k last week and I still have the stock fluid.
I did however replace the pads and rotors just about 4 months ago, and they are doing great. (Did the work myself). I am a little reluctant to do the brake flush myself though, mainly because I do not want to screw it up!

So is there any place up here (or relatively close) that I could get a brake flush done, from someone that I can trust? The dealer is fine but I would rather not spend $250 and a whole day at the dealership if I can avoid it.

Any feedback or recommendations would be welcome. Thank you!

Thank you for the link!
I actually have a friend that used Vic's shop before. It is just down the road from me. I did not realize they were a BMW shop, since they do oil changes for just about any make of vehicle.

As far as alignments go, there is a shop that is actually close to Vic's. Tim Well's Tire Service. The wife has been going to him for several years for new tires and tire service (balancing, pressure, just general check up). So I would imagine that they can do alignments as well. The guys there are easy to deal with and very straightforward.

Sorry, no website but they are located at:
45257 Sierra Highway, Lancaster, CA
(661) 942-3773
