Firebug24k 0 Posted April 16, 2012 Anyone have a recommendation for a mechanic/shop that works on older foreign cars (1996 BMW)? I'm new to the area and not sure where to get some repairs done (clutch/rough idle/a few other misc items). It's nowhere near warranty, and I don't give a crap about OEM parts, I just want it to work EDIT: I live in Imperial Beach, if that matters. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Czechsix 1 Posted April 16, 2012 It's a north county shop, but KB Motorsports up in San Marcos is a good shop. No BS place. Owner is a rider too. Primarily a BMW shop, but the most interesting thing I saw there was a Bugatti lol. Weird. Has BMW factory trained mechanics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastaPilot 17 Posted April 16, 2012 A little closer to you, just North of Pacific Beach is La Jolla Independent BMW Service. http://www.bimmerdoc.com/ Never been there for service but they always have classic BMWs in the showroom and I wander through on occasion. They've been in business for a LONG time so must know what they're doing. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Firebug24k 0 Posted April 17, 2012 Thanks for all the advice, guys - I appreciate it! Car picked a bad time to act up, while the KLR is disassembled in the garage. Ended up commuting on bicycle today - that was kinda painful. Dose BMW in El Cajon, Steve Dose is a BMW wiz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
