Any good shops...

in South OC??? I need to have my 01' E320 serviced and there is no way in hell I am taking it to a dealer. Its time for a transmission service and many other things including new pads and rotors and a deep cleaning under the hood.

I am at 50K miles now and would like to have everything done at this point including bleeding the Brake fluid, radiator flush.

Should I have my fuel filter changed? I do run Chevron Techron Fuel Syhstem Cleaner every 10K miles.

I am just looking for a reputable shop in South OC that has experience.

Thank You

The fuel filter is recommended every 60K miles, along with the engine air filter. However, I'd look at the air filter now to make sure it's not filthy already. It could potentially lead to the failure of your mass-airflow sensor. I'm not familiar with Orange County way down there, so I can't help you there.
