If you don't mind driving about 20 minutes, Fulcrum at Stafford have always been very good to me. Prices are good, service is excellent.

Two stories.
First was that my car was making a noise in the back left when my car bounces with a dip in road or like, turns out back left was rubbing guard when spring compresses. So Fulcrum fit a spacer and say drive it for a week and see how it goes, if OK then pays us, if not will change to a bigger spacer for free. Awesome. I didn't pay at time, they trusted me to come back and pay later, and this was only the third time I had been there.

Second, had a problem where the Diff assembly wasn't exactly even with left to right, so Fulcrum put it on a ramp thing and have a look, and then invite me into shop get me on a creeper I roll under car and he points out problem bush. Excellent service.
