Suggestions for Service/Repairs in Southern California

Where would you suggest that a person take a W208 for service and/or repairs in Southern California? Many of you have suggested a private repair place... better than Jiffy Lube, cheaper than the dealership. There are obviously quite a few of them in Orange County and/or Los Angeles, so I would appreciate recommendations. The closer to Newport Beach, the better.

Sure SOMEONE has an opinion? There are hundreds (if not thousands) of MBWorld members in Southern California. I'm sure that you're not all paying retail at the dealership for maintenance and repairs?
