Courtesy vehicle not available so they sent me to enterprise which was like 10-13 minutes away. The earliest time that enterprise open is 8am so I have to wait til they open at 8am, get dropped off at mckenna to pick up my vehicle. Doesn't work well when you work morning shift.

The only good thing that came out of that ordeal was this one HOT!! blonde girl at enterprise..

Do apologize, when were you here?

Recommend: JT Audio
He did my Gladen One 201 speaker kit, Mosconi D2 amp, and Technic harness install. Tuned the DSP as well.
Very professional, very OCD, straightforward and honest. I wouldn't go to anyone else.

Recommend: LTMW
I think everyone here knows them already. I had my built Quaife from VAC installed here.

Recommend: South Bay BMW (Torrance)
I took my car in for some minor interior trim issues under warranty, also exhaust rattles. No hassles, replaced what was needed to fix the issues, kept me updated through the process. Loaner was a little dirty, and a 128 vert (bleh), but it got me to work and back just fine.

Went there with a brake squeal, thought I needed new brakes, and or sensors. I dropped it off, expecting to hear back with a brake job bill... they said everything looked fine, plenty of life on all the pads, and the squealing was semi-common on E90. Charged me 25 bucks. I figured they could've charged me and I would've never been the wiser, so they've earned my return business.

Hey everyone.
I'm looking for a reputable service shop in San Diego area. I have dealt with BMW of El Cajon with great success with Terry, but am looking for something less expensive. Any input would be grateful.

Thanks!

You are not the first I heard of being treated with indifference or badly by this place. They marred the bumper of a buddy of mine and then denied it. And instead if restoring it to the way it was....told him he brought it in like that .... A lie because he had pictures to prove it. Bent his tow hook plate and pushed it into his bumper during a car wash or something. Car was fine before he took it in. I would not recommend anyone taking their car here.

There are others on this forum with similar experiences. Once you begin getting more and more people saying the same thing at some point one has to say hmmmmmm.

Bmw Encinitas is the same. I went to buy my car and the guy said sorry, you didnt look like you could afford it. Because I was in board shorts and flip flops? I just got back from surfing. Pretty offensive stuff. Things got better once they realized my wife worked for them! Haha.

[EMITTR]

Sam Walton founder of Walmart wore jeans and a t- shirt. I had that se experience. Sales person after sales person ignored me. After an hour waiting, as i was leaving a sales lady who just came off her lunch break saw me standing there and asked if she could help. Sales guy who passed me up about 4 times and did not ask once stated as she got the sale. That is funny about your wife working there. Hope the sales people felt stupid!

Am I posting this in the right place?
I'm in SFV in SoCal looking for a Powder Coating shop that does good work.

Thanks!!!
