LOS ANGELES or IRVINE. GOOD WORKSHOP?

Hey everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone in the LA or Irvine area knew any good independent Acura workshops. Just wanna do a simple oil change and don't really feel like getting jacked at the dealership. Thanks.

I dont think you necessarily need an Acura shop just to change oil. I either do it myself or I like Chevron Oil Stop's. You stay in the car, you start it after the change (so no idiot is revving before there is pressure) and they actually torque the drain plug to factory specs. They also replace the o-ring washer like the factory. They'll show you the color of your other fluids but they dont necessarily need to be changed. The trans fluid will be dirty within 100 miles of being changed compared to new so dont let it scare you. Just have them do the oil.
