Looking for a good mechanic in Laguna Beach Orange County Area

Hey guys/gals,

I am looking for a good BMW mechanic for my daughter. She has a nicely prepped 2008 135i manual. She lives in Laguna Beach, Orange County area. Her current mechanic is worthless and trying to rip her off. I just did a lot of work on her car. Unfortunately, I live in San Jose. I can’t help her on a regular basis.

Appreciate your recommendations. Thanks in advance.

Not as close as you'd probably like, but I take my cars to Steven at Bavarian Auto House:

OC Benz in Newport is also good, and they are a lot closer to you guys:
