Pasadena Mechanic Sought

We have two Mini's, a 2003 and a 1962, but our daughter was given our 97 Maxima to take from the East Coast to USC for grad school.

It has 130K miles and needs occasional maintenance.

Can anybody recommend someone near to her please?

Hi,

I'm a total pasadena local and the nearest authorized dealer is in Monrovia (about 10 minutes east from Pasadena and 30 minutes east from USC) A dealership called Assael Mini/BMW.

I will warn you. I've heard terrible things about their customer service. Everytime I went there to shop for a Mini Cooper all I ever received was snobbery and attitude. They definitely don't represent the laid back nice attitude you think with the car.

My favorite mechanics for any other car is at this place called Chong's Mobil. I'm Korean and my folks are friends with Mr. Chong. Totally cool guy and he's always been honest with us (comes off as gruff though, it's just his way). My parents used to have the worst cars and he'd get them to run always a couple more thousand miles. He's even referred me to other places for specific service. You can google him and find his address.
