Hey guys, (and gals),
Like the title says I am in need of a good independent mechanic for an oil change and a brake fluid flush. I drive is telling me its time for both. any help would be greatly appreciated. also, can anyone ballpark how much that should cost? Thanks in advance, Danny

August European motors on Miramar Road, or Group 5 are great places. Haven't had my oil changed anywhere besides BMW, but my mom takes her mercedes to August.

I take my car to DOSE Independent BMW service in El Cajon. They only do BMW and have so for the last 20 years. Its a great shop and family owned.

Go see Chris at La Jolla Independent and tell him Tom Cassidy sent you. You will be entertained by all the retro cars on their lot and his prices and service are excellent.

With that said, Exclusively BMW in downtown San Diego and Miramar Rd. are good and could do the work quickly.
Also La Jolla Independent are the best BMW mechanics in San Diego as indicated by the other posters. However, La Jolla Independent is off the beaten path in the Bird Rock area of La Jolla and they're very busy, so it may not be worth your trouble as you typically have to leave your overnight etc. With that said, is you ever need some "real work" on your car (e.g., replacement of control arms, belts and hoses, electrical work etc.) these are your guys.
