New to DC - Need a good shop

I recently shipped my E90 from LA to DC and have been trying to find a reputable shop or mechanic to go to for regular maintenance. I just hit 192k miles and am due for an oil change soon, since I change it every 5k now. In the near term I may need to repair a headlight, so I am looking for a place I can trust for more technical projects too.

I'd prefer a shop located within a 30 minute drive radius, but willing to consider further. So far I've seen good reviews of J&F Motors in Arlington and Aktiv Automotive in Gaithersburg, and also recommendations for Alexandria Bavarian Service.

Kevin Lucas at Aktiv Automotive hands down. Fair, honest and great service! No one else. Period.

I've read a lot of good things about Aktiv Automotive, looks like that will be my choice. Thanks for the input.
