I bought my car from Crevier in Orange County -- great experience, the SA, Abbot, even delivered it to my house! But too far to drive for service.

So I need to find a good BMW service ctr. for rountine maintenance.

Any recommendations?

I have had mixed results with Assael and Pacific over the years with my 1998 528.

keep in mind that you might not get a loaner if you have your car service other than the one you bought your car from .

It's worth the drive to Crevier, I've dealt with New Century in Alhambra, theie techs are full of S**t. They also frown on any mods, come on, if you know Alhambra, you know no one there drives a nice car with out mods. Crevier has never asked question, they just do their job finely. IMy BMW buds usually go to Mike Barbee at Crevier, he'll usually do jobs that they would normally charge for free. Crevier also has the nicest loaners. Other dealers are quite small, you may get a "Enterprise" vehicle...

Sorry you're out of luck... neither New Century nor Assael are all that... and unfortuently those are the closest dealers to me also. I kind of like Long Beach... I havent had problems with them so far with my MINI... I might consider them for the BMW too when it comes time for service.

Its worth the drive to Calabasas. Bob Smith BMW

IMO the best service center in the region. The facility speaks for itself.

I bought my car from Bob Smith. Sales is okay, Service is the worst! Can't even fix my squeaky brakes. Three service visits and still squeaky!
