Originally posted by Il Duce View PostCan anyone recommend a shop in the north county San Diego area? Seems like more and more shops refuse to work on e30s these days. I have a shop I've been going to for 20 years up here, but they're not e30 specialists.
By the way, BMW of Carlsbad will not generally work on E30s without express approval by the shop manager. They put new tires and wheels on mine, but declined any other service or repairs. Given the sheer number of E30 parts becoming NLA in the last few years, I am not surprised by this policy.Last edited by ghrays; 04-25-2024, 07:00 PM.

I've never taken my cars there, but I am familiar, thanks for the suggestion.
