Looking for Indy shop around Chicago

I'm hitting 43k miles on my M3 and starting to look up some good indy shops in the chicago burbs (preferably near Naperville). Is A&L still a preferred shop or are there any new ones folks can recommend? Doing some forum searches on e90/f30/f80 there are posts from 2015-2017 but nothing really current.

I prefer a&l.
If your in naperville check out fluid MotorUnion, I personally stopped going there as their new location brought a price hike but they’re a good local source.

Naperville Automotive Solutions. Fantastic crew with great service and pricing. They did my lowering spring install and couldn't have been happier with the results. They're mostly a domestic shop but the guys there absolutely know what they're doing

I have been using Gus' Auto Imports. Started using him back I 2007 when he was in Oswego and then followed him when he relocated his shop to the Ogden ave location. If it is a German car he can fix it. Real reasonable rates and he is realistic. I have seen AMG's and saw a Ferrari in the rack one time. http://gus-auto-imports.com

Really great responses and I appreciate everyone's comments. I'll give them a call and check out their shops in the next month.

I have been using Gus for the last 5 years on four BMWs. They did a good job with a challenging hydraulics repair on my z4 convertible top. For any normal maintenance his prices are super reasonable and if a vehicle doesn’t really need something he will explain it and talk you out of it. I’d recommend him as well.
