"Finally got fed up with dealer pricing and was searching for a decent independent repair shop. Used Angie's to find Monaco, went to their website and sent an email inquiry about my repair. Got an email back the next day from Wade who said they could do it, and to call Mike for an appointment. Mike checked the pricing on the part for me and made an appointment for me right away. It only took about 45 minutes, they got the part installed, charged me a fair price for the part and labor. I waited in their small but comfortable and well air conditioned waiting room and chatted with Mike who was an extremely knowledgeable and friendly service advisor. I highly recommend Monaco."

A letter from a happy customer
My #5 spark plug shot out of the cylinder head. The spark plug hole was
completely stripped and my car was undrivable. I had it towed to the
dealer.
They looked at it and told me that I needed a new cylinder head - at a
cost of $6000! My car is CPO and supposedly has a 100,000 mile
drive train warranty. They disclaimed all responsibility because I had
Bosch Platinum +4 spark plugs installed and they're not "factory
certified" spark plugs. When I bought my car CPO, those were the plugs
that were in it. I never changed them. They said that they had no way
to verify that I hadn't changed the plugs, and it was my bad luck.
So, I got on the phone and stared calling independent BMW shops. One of
the calls I made was to RMS (http://www.racemarque.com). These guys are
rippin' BMW tuners. They make superchargers and do all kinds of cool
mods. Anyway, I talked to Sean over there and he said that if I wanted
them to put a supercharged M engine in my car I could bring it to them.
If I wanted to have the motor that's in it repaired, I should call
over to Monaco Motors (http://www.monacomotors.com/) and talk to Wade.
It's Wades shop.
I called Wade and told him about the situation. He told me that he'd
seen this kind of damage on Porsches from time to time, but never on a
late model BMW. He said to bring it over and he'd see what he can do.
I had the car towed over there (don't even get me started on how poorly
the dealership treated me when I wanted to have my car towed elsewhere
to have the repairs done). Wade and his staff were so helpful and
friendly. I had my car back within 48 hours. They put in a heli-coil and
changed some belts that were showing wear. The whole thing cost me less
than $700.

If you're in the L.A. area and you need service, these are the people
to see. I can't recommend them highly enough. They're knowledgeable,
friendly and great at what they do. I'll never take my car to the
dealership for service or repairs again - now that I know about Monaco
Motors.
