Another vote for Monaco Motors - they are professional, honest, and know what they're doing. I trust them with my 2003 Boxster S, my 1973 911 S, and I'll definitely be taking my 2009 911 S there as well.

Welcome to Studio City, I am your neighbor. Lucent or AutoTalent, both are board sponsors and both are located on Sepulveda between Santa Monica and Olympic. I frequent both places and they both have top notch expertise and service.

How much do these places charge for oil changes / basic services? I found a big range w/ indies when I shopped around. Some places charge less than $200, some charge the same $700+ as a dealer (and suggest unnecessary work like transmission fluid changes, etc.).

I am not sure because I do my own oil change / basic service. I only charge a 6 pack of beer though In all seriousness, contact Arling over at lucent his username / PM is 20C4S.

Yar, I hear you. I should change my own oil and do my own basic service, but I am lazy. It isn't rocket science, I know, and the costs (materials + 6 pack) is less that a dealer or an indy. Will contact these guys next time it comes up for service.
