Don't mean to hijack the thread but might as well keep it in "SoCal" thread. Im also looking for a shop in Socal, particulary Orange County area, but not a body shop though.

Can anyone recommend a REPAIR SHOP (independent shop) or MECHANIC that has competetive prices compared to the dealership? My last trip to the dealership said my rear axle (or something) had a leak.

If you need a place that does good paint and kit installs, I can recommend one in Newport Beach/Costa Mesa are. TIA

Fix N Chips in Costa Mesa. No website. I find his prices reasonable for someone who does high quality work, he works on Ferraris, etc. It depends on what you need or what's there to fix. For example, he'll fix your hood for $200 (eg. dent, etc) and $150 for repaint.

Flecther Jones in Newport Beach has a great body shop, working only on MBZ's and using OEM parts.

They also have an Enterprise rent-a-car on premises for quick and easy drop-off and go.
