SoCal Independent Shops

Hello all! I’m relocating to SoCal with a new to me 2013 R55 and I’m looking for a reputable shop that will take loving care of my new ride. All replies will be appreciated! Thank you.

What is the zip code of the area where you are going to be located.
I am in 91304 LA county. But if you are out of the area it may not be helpful.

A's Garage in Montery Park is quite a drive from Corona, but I trust Alvin with my car. https://www.yelp.com/biz/as-garage-monterey-park

It's a bit of a drive, but I found a BMW shop that the owner has a hot rod Mini, and aren't afraid of working on them. All of the guys working are "apparently" ex BMW mechanics/tech's. So they have, or at least had...their BMW credentials. They did some work for me that I didn't have time to do and was happy with their work. Although they don't do wheel alignment, but sent me to guys that they trust. Going tomorrow actually.
And being what I've done for work for the last 40+ years, and my general attitude, I'm fairly difficult to please, ask my friends..!

"Eds Independent BMW Service", in Covina. A couple miles north of the 10 freeway, and Citrus Ave.
