Looking for a good independent shop in Los Angeles area.
The title said it all. But short story long, I have noticed a possible brake fluid leak, only one drop on the garage floor by the front driver's side wheel everytime after I drive it. This has happened ever since my last trip to the dealer. The visit was for a new battery (which they spilled one drop of acid on my fender) and a brake fluid flush I am obviously not going back to that dealer to put my car at risk again. And the couple other dealerships closest to me doesn't have a very reputable service dept that I have read in this forum...

Thanks GT3Chuck. I think this Arling guy is very active on 6speed, right? I go on that forum too but had problems registering an account so I only lurk. Good to know they also do maintenance and they are very close by.

The guys at Lucent are great. No one comes close matching the customer service they provide. However, I always had the impression that they specialize in mods and maintenance, not repairs. I could be wrong but if you find that they're not able to help you, here's a list of the Porsche Owner's Club approved Tech Stations. Otto's is close to you (Venice) and does great work from what I hear. 911 Design is a bit of a hike for you, but Loren Beggs really knows his stuff. In reality, you can't go wrong with any of these shops:
