soCal independent service shop

Anyone knows of a good local independent shop here in socal? I just can't justify paying the dealer $1k for an oil change and spark plugs replacement!

Thnks!

Not sure about the Chino Hills area, but off the top of my head:
Bullet Performance - Santa Ana
SolelyBimmer - Mission Viejo
Those are 2 shops I have used with great results. If there's more, I have a buddy who lives in Tustin, he's an ASE Certified Master Tech and has a lift at his house.

He's the man. You're in good hands. He's got the inside on hardware, tunes, piggybacks and general maintenance. He's the best around at walnut blasting.

Thanks, he's like the best little sandwich shop for locals only, but for BMW enthusiast who like to tune, mod and keep their cars mechanically sound and can't afford the MOTHER STEALERSHIP.

I always get mine with no onion.
