About Independent Motorcars

Independent Motorcars is a premier automotive service center in San Diego, specializing exclusively in high-performance German vehicles. Founded in 2014 by Chris Keefer, a former technician at La Jolla Independent BMW, the shop was established to offer a transparent, "no-nonsense" alternative to the dealership experience. Their philosophy is simple: check before you charge. This means customers aren't hit with excessive diagnostic fees for simple issues, and every repair recommendation is explained in plain English, prioritizing what's necessary over what's profitable. The facility is known for its immaculate cleanliness and modern equipment, mirroring the precision of the cars they service. With a team that boasts over 30 years of combined experience, Independent Motorcars handles everything from complex engine diagnostics to routine maintenance with dealership-level expertise but at a fairer price. Whether you drive a classic Porsche or a modern Mercedes-Benz, Chris and his team provide honest, enthusiast-driven care designed to keep your vehicle running perfectly.
