Auto Alpina is a small repair shop that works on both European and Japanese cars (maybe others too). The owner, Norik, is a budget-conscious and honest person who has actually discouraged me from certain repairs in the past (turning down incremental fees). The hourly rate is roughly $80, which is quite a bit less than dealers or other shops I've worked with. The shop opens late, making it hard to drop off your car before work, but extended hours in the evening have worked really well for me.
