Reputable Independent in Glendale/North LA area

Looking for an independent inspection for a pre-purchase - anybody know of a good BMW mech in the region that could give the car a good going over?

Cheers in advance.

this shop is in pasadena...not too far from glendale

I would highly recommend them for any vehicle inspection...tons of experience with BMW's and the owner was a SA at BMW for over 7 years...techs are all bmw certified

Cheers for that - I'll give them a call in the morning and see what they charge for a PPI.

Def the M shop, they are very professional.

Whatever you do dont take it to Eurowerks in Burbank, hate that mofo place. They suck donkey balls.

I know another guy in Pasadena.
Its called BMW PhD. You wonder why its called PhD.
The owner Tim, is a master tech with 10 years or so at the Dealership and the other tech there is also a master tech (not sure how many years he is in there)
But yea its a small shop but they really do everything the dealership does except give loaner cars. O wait he let me use his e36 vert while my car was in. So ya he does everything the dealership does at half the price.
Tell Tim, AJ refered you. You won't be disappointed.

Definitely call Joe at the M Shop 323-257-5773 in Eagle Rock (right next to Glendale). They are THE BEST.

I would say Dan at DTM Autoshop, M Shop is good service but they are bit pricey and are too big of a shop to pay a lot of attention.

Dan always goes over the top to make someone satisfied.

Check it out.
