On the southern side of LA in the Anaheim area, European Auto Source does reliable daily tech work.

On the north side of LA in North Hollywood, MiniCorsa does reliable daily tech work.

I have years of experience with both of these shops and can comfortably recommend both.

Seems like a lot of forum / social media m3's go here. I might go there to respray my front end.

Oops ignore that post above. Thought it was for body work.

I go to JMP Autowerkz. They're in Canoga Park. They do some of our cars on here plus a ton of track/race builds, swaps, fab work, and regular maintenance stuff too.

I don't let them post my car in case my wife sees that it wasn't just "routine maintenance"

Based on personal experience, I wouldn't bring a car back to ABS. Expected some decent quality work based on some of the cars that have been worked on by them, but I was pretty disappointed. I'm guessing all those social media M3s that have been worked on by ABS only look good on the surface and from 10 feet away.
