Anyone have a referral to a shop they like in LA, for regular service on a modern-ish (2012) Rover?

I've been using one that distance has become too much of a burden, so I'm trying to find
someone closer to me. Northeast LA, somewhere in the circle of like Hollywood to Burbank to Pasadena would be ideal. I'm open to shops a little beyond that if I had to.

Thanks in advance.

Not up north, but I live in West LA and shoot down to Kalahari Motorsport in Hawthorne. Martin (who is in charge of the one man shop) is the man.

I've heard nothing but good things about Carrs4x4 in Huntington Beach.

You could look into this.
Independent Landrover Complete Auto Service

Thanks for those suggestions. Huntington is farther than I'm looking to go, but that shop in Glendale is at the top of my list of considerations thus far. I spoke to them briefly previously about an issue I ended up being able to solve myself. They've got enough positive reviews out there to warrant giving them a shot.

When I was there Absolute on Hoover was good. They would sell older discos but did service on modern stuff.

Absolute would be ideal as I live extremely close to them. Apparently they used to be good, but have a bunch of terrible reviews that seem to coincide with an ownership change from father to son or something. Knowing all that, I went there for something ridiculously small and easy as a bit of a test. They failed miserably. The guy was rude, assumed I was a *****, and tried to charge me $140 for something that anyone reasonable would've probably done no charge to try and win over a new customer. Pass.

I use Jomag auto in silverlake. https://yelp.to/od5iSFmJUdb
Been with Mauricio and his lead mechanic Ronny for 15 years. They did the sonnax zip kit and my supercharger snout and all semi major repairs and all regular oil changes and wear items. They let me buy and bring all my own parts and my own oil and filters. Labor is reasonable.
