Looking for a good independent shop in Inland Empire

Daughter in Upland just bought a healthy '01 525it. She's 400 miles from me and am looking for recommendations. It'll need maintenance, and someone who won't take advantage of a 23 year old woman.

I live about 15 minutes away in Ontario.

After buying a 2003 E85 last October, I took the car to Cisco's Benz & Beemers in Rancho Cucamonga for a pre-purchase inspection (I know, I did that bass-ackwards...).

Anyways, Cisco kept the car for a few days and when I came back he had a list of recommended things that should eventually be addressed. He basically gave the car a clean bill of health, but alerted me to some potential issues with the suspension, thermostat, weather stripping, etc...and gave me what seemed to be reasonable estimates.

The best part of my experience (and why I will return for several repairs I can't/don't want to do myself) is that the inspection was completely free and during my visit he even took time to explain the reasons for his recommended repairs (I was appreciative since this is my first BMW).

The address is 9851 8th Street, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 and their phone is (909) 522-4002.

Check them out and see what you think...

I have 2 shops that have done work to many of my personal cars as well as my friends/family. Both shops are BMW blood for 20 plus years. Shoot me a PM and I'll get you in touch.

I have been to Bavarian Garage in Glendora a few times. Good people and work.

Did not know EAS does maintenance and checkups until now. EAS is also recommended.

Forgot to update this thread. Went to Bavarian Garage and we're more than happy. Great shop. I've never been there physically, but am able to communicate well by phone from 400 miles away.

(Just a tiny troll, here.)

BMWCCA has an Inland Empire Chapter. It's in Spokane, WA; not in CA. Please be careful when using "Inland Empire" to not confuse us all.
