TDI Mechanics in Los Angeles area?

Hi, not sure if I should post this here specifically but I'm in search of independent or nondealer TDI mechanics in the greater Los Angeles area. I'm looking to purchase a TDI but I like to find a reliable TDI mechanic knowledgeable about the 3.0 TDI Supercharged engines.
Any suggestions or intros?

It is chipped and has great power and is ever so smooth. You should be able to take it to any good independent Audi shop. Diesel cars are almost extinct here in US so you won't find many diesel specialty shops, I don't know of any but I go to Orange County and use Metric in Huntington Beach or AutoUnion Tuning in Placentia. Both excellent. Euro-Tuning in Torrance, have not been there for quite a while.

Almost no diesel passenger cars sold in US now. Mostly trucks or truck based suvs. In California you won't be able to buy gas or diesel cars after 2035

In Europe and Australia diesel is still huge and there are shops that specialize in them. Very common in many other countries as well.
