Question dealers with loaners in LA

Hi. Does anyone know of any dealers in the LA area that will give out a loaner when I take my car in for servicing. I dropped by Calstar yesterday (my nearest dealer), and they said they dont give out loaners. Dunno if that's because I told them I didnt buy my car there? I just moved to LA, so I dont know all the dealers in the area, especially the ones that give out loaners. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Both House of Import in Buena Park and Penske Motors at West Covina give out MB loaners when you drop your car off to service.

MBLN too

MBLN also, but I'm not sure if you had to buy your MB there to have access to the loaners.

-edit- since you're new to LA, I should clarify that that means Mercedes Benz of Laguna Niguel.

Fletcher Jones in Newport beach has loaners but I believe you must purchase your car there to qualify. So far we have been given E and C class sedans as loaners.
