We have a great guy about 30 minutes from here who was the service manager at a local VW dealer, and went independant. My extended family has 3 VW's, and we take them all to him. I have a friend who was a BMW dealer tech, and he went independant and now has established a very successful BMW specialist shop.

We have some decent sized Porsche dealerships nearby. Hopefully some of their guys will decide to go independant.
