La Jolla Independent BMW Service

Hey all,

 

Just wanted to give a shout-out to JP at Carl's shop - I was in town on business recently, 1/2 a day early on a Sunday, knew about the place, but didn't even think about it until I drove by after getting some fish tacos down the block and spotted some 02s and coupes. Was just going to walk around and look from the outside, but JP was there hanging out waiting for a buddy. He invited me behind the gate and we chatted for a bit - Standouts - seeing the CN36's in person on Carl's daughter's or granddaughter's Inka spongebob squaretail with E21 Mahle factory alloys (I am ordering some CN36's right now from Longstone - ~$80 cheaper than Lucas Tires in Long Beach), some sick CS coupes, and some really early sedans. Forgot to ask about any Glas/BMW GT's... Next time i'm down there i'll be stepsiding after hours work commitments & stop by for "happy hour". JP was very welcoming and a cool dude. Thx man.

I have stopped in twice while visiting the San Diego area. Always a treat.

I agree, lots of eye candy at Carl's shop but next time you are in Sandy Eggo, make some time to stop by Bill Holmes shop out by Ramona. It's hard to find but worth the effort.

JP is the best...with a wrench and with a brew!

Used to live near La Jolla Independent, and had them do lots of work on my cars over the years. Also worked with Bill Holmes at Bavarian Rennsport. Both are stand-outs as shops and I'd go back to either any day.
