Precision German Motor in West Covina does good work. I don't have their
number at hand but they should be listed. I think they're on San Bernardino
Road.... Theres a decent german mechanic in Santa Monica. I remember seeing
him listed on this site. He worked on my BMW once a few years back. (I
didn't live in Santa Monica, but in Orange County). I'm trying to recall the
name of his business... German Motor???? He might be on Overland.....
