    La Jolla Independent hooked me up today!

    La Jolla Independent went above and beyond the call of duty for me today and I thought it was worth some recognition.

    My roomate was dropping his car off to get his timing belt done and I was tailing him in my e30. After we left, we had to make a quick stop to check out an Exige. When we were getting back in the car I noticed a healthy puddle of coolant below the drivers side that appeared to be coming from the drain plug on the radiator.

    Anyways, since we were only 3 blocks away from La Jolla Independent, I limped it over. I filled out a service invoice(figuring a tow would be more expensive even if they had to replace my radiator) and mentioned that my buddy and I were both stranded.

    The guys at LJI basically dropped everything they were doing, immediately spent 15 minutes pressure testing my coolant system, replaced my drain plug for me, and topped me off with probably about 10 bucks worth of BMW coolant.

    The best part? They said NO CHARGE and sent me on my way. These guys are top notch and know their stuff. Highly recommended to any of you San Diego guys...

          Jeremy- Do you have any justification for saying that? I'm curious to hear.

            They're good if your car is stock. They are firm believers that BMW did everything perfect the first time.

            If I ever took my car to the shop, they would tie me up, charge me of heresy, and burn both me and my e30 abomination atop a pile of scorched aftermarket parts.

                Yes, but it's more of a personal reason between family friends. Nothing that needs to be made too public.

                  If it has nothing to do with their service or workmanship...your earlier comment seems a little off base.

                  Fact of the matter is, they went out of their way to help me, and they didn't have to. I'd call that good service.

                      Of course they did. They want you to bring your car back to them and give them your money!

                        This is true, however they knowingly could have charged me 20 or 30 bucks for the work they did, which would have been fair and wouldn't have been a reason for me to not go back...

                              OK. THANKS FOR GUIDING ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR INSIGHT, ALMIGHTY. JESUS SAVES.

                              Fuck man, it's okay to have grudges against certain things in life. Like say uh, Lowen Design--I don't need to shop there to know that they run a fucked up company.
