Any members in South Florida who can recommend a trusted quality "non-dealer" service shop?

Even though Active Autowerke is known best as a tuner, they are also a service center.

Thanks fellas. I am aware of ActiveAuto because I was considering some mods from them years ago when I owned my E36 M3, but I wasn't aware that they did maintenance as well. How do their prices/labor compare to dealer? I live in North Broward. This is not my every day car so I could drop it and leave it if it is cheaper, and/or more trustworthy than dealer. I live right across the street from Vista BMW but I went to buy an oil filter and 2 bottles of fuel additive and they tried to sell me the fuel additive for $24 a bottle, it's $14! They thought I was stupid. Won't go back there.
