SoCal mechanic recommendation

hey all, so my car has two coolant leakage issue and dealer is quoting $2.7k for the cost. (turbo coolant and water pump)

funny thing is, my 2017 230i had a coolant leaking issue in 2019 and repaired under warranty which has expired.
honestly super sad to see similar issue happening on the same car. (is turbo coolant leaking something of a regular wear-and-tear?)

can anyone recommend me any good mechanic in SoCal (DTLA,West LA ish) area where i can take my car? the description of the issue from the dealer is as below for reference.

ISSUE
"During inspection found coolant leak coming from turbo coolant feed line"

RECOMMENDATION
"Recommend to replace turbo coolant feed line and top off coolant. Upon completion coolant system will be bleed"


Additional Service Repair issue is as follows.
ISSUE
"During inspection of vehicle found coolant leak coming from water pump"

RECOMMENDATION
"Recommend to replace water pump and reseal. Upon completion coolant system will be bleed"

thank you for the read and if anyone knows a trust worthy mechanic, i would love to take some advise.

I had good experiences at The Haus in Santa Monica. You'll have to pay for them to inspect it and quote you, but they may include that as part of the labor cost if you decide to use them for the job.
