I finally got to La Jolla independent yesterday. Great place. I didn't catch names (I assume one of the guys I was talking with was the owner: older white-haired gentleman), but he saved me a lot of money: I was there to pick up brake pads, washer motor, and inquire about the oil for the diff and the transmission. In the end I just had them replace the diff and tranny oil since they have it on site, but he checked out the pads (I had a squeal) and he mentioned I didn't need pads, just to scuff them up, and gave me insights to the washer motor (i.e., it wasn't the motor), etc.
he could have just sold me the stuff and wished me on my way. Great service!
He also had the little widget that would keep my antenna from moving around and installed that through the underside while the car was on the lift.
