Hi All,
Recently moved to the so cal area .....

So Cal is massive. Exactly what city are you in?

It's nice to have a nearby mechanic. Mine is my old pals at South Bay Independent in Gardena. 5 Stars !

Hi All,
Recently moved to the so cal area and I wanted to know if you can recommend any repair shops. My transmission needs to be looked at, and I don't know of any reputable shops in the LA and Orange County area.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

If you're around the south bay 110/91 interchange, there SBI, south bay independent. Super knowledgeable dudes, might be a little short with you if you aren't patient since they are always swamped with work, but they fix stuff right the first tiem and your set for life. Long time customer since the late 90s.

If you're in OC or South LA County - Hans Imports on Talbert Ave in Huntington Beach.

They've been working on my `85 325e since new & had rebuilt my 5spd tranny on the 325e 15-20+/- years ago & 100K+/- miles since with no problems.

I've been a Hans customer since 1975.

Good Luck!
Tom

LA and Orange County areas is a LARGE cross-section.
LA - JMP in Canoga Park
Orange County - Bullet Performance in Costa Mesa

Those are my recommendations. Many people have had good experience with Castros in LA, but I dont have any personal experience. Im sure there are others that I cant think of right now

Is this for an automatic or 5 speed trans? Also depends on what part of the city you are in, LA & OC are pretty big and going to a reputable shop near you would probably benefit you.
